<i>Drosophila</i> functional screening of <i>de novo</i> variants in autism uncovers deleterious variants and facilitates discovery of rare neurodevelopmental diseases

2021-01-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) exhibit an increased burden of de novo variants in a broadening range of genes. We functionally tested the effects of ASD missense variants using Drosophila through ‘humanization’ rescue and overexpression-based strategies. We studied 79 ASD variants in 74 genes identified in the Simons Simplex Collection and found 38% of them caused functional a...
