Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetics is an important contributor to autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Clinical guidelines endorse genetic testing in the medical workup of ASD, particularly tests that use whole genome sequencing (WGS) technology. While the clinical utility of genetic testing in ASD is demonstrated, the breadth of impact of results can depend on the variant and/or gene being reported. METHODS: We reviewed research...
