A Cell Type-Specific Expression Signature Predicts Haploinsufficient Autism-Susceptibility Genes.
Human mutation - 1 Feb 2017
Zhang Chaolin, Shen Yufeng
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies have identified many genes with rare de novo mutations in autism, but a limited number of these have been conclusively established as disease-susceptibility genes due to the lack of recurrence and confounding background mutations. Such extreme genetic heterogeneity severely limits recurrence-based statistical power even in studies with a large sample size. Here, we use cell-type specific expression...
