Abstract excerpt
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental condition with a rising global prevalence. However, the functional role of super-enhancers, the key genomic regulatory elements, remains largely uncharacterized in ASD. This study aims to identify functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within super-enhancers that regulate ASD-associated genes and to validate their contribution to...
