Abstract excerpt
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) that affects about 1 in 54 children worldwide, imposing enormous economic and socioemotional burden on families and communities. Genetic studies of ASD have identified de novo copy number variants (CNVs) and point mutations that contribute significantly to the genetic architecture, but the majority of these studies were conducted in populations...
