Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genetic basis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is complicated by high heritability and substantial heterogeneity, in which de novo variants and polygenic burden from common variants have not been comprehensively elucidated. Increasing evidence indicates that aggregates of rare variants can exert additive or synergistic effects that modulate disease risk. Using an approach that considers variant...
