Evaluating rare variants in complex disorders using next-generation sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

Determining the genetic architecture of liability for complex neuropsychiatric disorders like autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia poses a tremendous challenge for contemporary biomedical research. Here we discuss how genetic studies first tested, and rejected, the hypothesis that common variants with large effects account for the prevalence of these disorders. We then explore how the discovery of...
