Low-level brain somatic mutations in exonic regions are collectively implicated in autism with germline mutations in autism risk genes.

Abstract excerpt

Low-level somatic mutations in the human brain are implicated in various neurological disorders. The contribution of low-level brain somatic mutations to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), however, remains poorly understood. Here, we performed high-depth exome sequencing with an average read depth of 559.3x in 181 cortical, cerebellar, and peripheral tissue samples to identify brain somatic single nucleotide...
