Abstract excerpt
Loss-of-function mutations in the autism-associated CHD8 gene are highly penetrant for trait and behavioral abnormalities in children, but there is substantial clinical heterogeneity in the occurrence and extent of disruptions between individuals. Using a large genetic reference panel of mice, we recently showed that this heterogeneity is, in part, regulated by genetic background. Here, we hypothesize that...
