Tandem Repeat Expansions in Autism Spectrum Disorder: From Discovery to Therapeutic Opportunities

2026-08-26

Abstract excerpt

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly heritable and heterogeneous neurodevelopmental condition for which currently identified genetic variants explain only a subset of cases. Tandem repeat expansions (TREs) have recently emerged as an underappreciated source of genetic risk for ASD and other complex disorders. Advances in genome sequencing technologies, from short-read to long-read platforms, have substantial...
