Illuminating hidden genetic architecture in autism.

Abstract excerpt

Structural and repeat variation relevant to autism has remained largely inaccessible to short-read sequencing. Using long-read genome sequencing, a recent study reveals previously hidden variants at scale, quantifies their contribution to autism risk, and links them to gene regulatory disruption in neurodevelopment, expanding the mutational and mechanistic landscape of autism.
