Abstract excerpt
Coding mutations can cause neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including autism. Yet, predicting which non-coding (e.g., 5' untranslated region [UTR]) mutations are functional is challenging. We tested assays of various throughput for the assessment of 997 mutations from NDD families. A massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA) using polysomes from cell lines identified >100 altering translation, with a subset...
