Similar to what is the case for intellectual disability, recent genetic studies indicate a large
degree of genetic heterogeneity for autism and ADHD. Many of the disease risk variants …

Intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are the most common
developmental disorders present in humans. Combined, they affect between 3 and 5% of …

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) encompass a group of behaviorally defined
developmental disabilities characterized by marked clinical and etiological heterogeneity …

along with the advances in developmental neuroscience and neuronal networks at the …

There is increasing evidence that autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) can arise from rare
highly penetrant mutations and genomic imbalances. The rare nature of these variants, and …

Genetic studies have the potential to identify the biological underpinnings of ASDs and other

Autism spectrum disorder (autism) is a heterogeneous group of neurodevelopmental
conditions characterized by early childhood-onset impairments in communication and social …

More than a hundred genes have been identified that, when disrupted, impart large risk for
autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Current knowledge about the encoded proteins—although …

Recent advances in the genetics of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are offering new
valuable insights into molecular and cellular mechanisms of pathology. At the same time, the …

Genetic epidemiology is the study of inherited factors involved in the etiology of a disease or
