[354] SSC and AGRE Genomic and clinical data Subjects (AGRE) 941
1048 subjects (SSC)
Gene association study ATP2C2 and MRPL19 found to be associated with language impairment and dyslexia, respectively
[122] SSC and AGRE Blood AGRE–127 subjects
SSC–75 subjects
Parallel sequencing study Rare variants of the AFF2 gene found to associated with ASD susceptibility in males
[355] SSC and AGRE Genomic data 359 subjects (AGRE)
SS–885 subjects
GWAS Female protective effect in ASD is not mediated by a single genetic locus.
[356] AGRE and SSC Genomic data 13 subjects (AGRE)
3 subjects (SSC)
WES Loss of CTNND2 function linked to severe ASD
[86] SSC and TASC Blood and lymphoblasts 15480 (total)
2475(SSC)
601(TASC)
WES 107 genes implicated in ASD. These genes are responsible for synaptic formation, chromatin remodelling and transcriptional regulation
[123] SSC and AGRE Blood and lymphoblasts, genomic and clinical data 5657 subjects (total)
1555 subjects (AGRE)
872 subjects (SSC)
WES Mutations in SHANK1, 2 and 3 accounts for 1 in 50 ASD cases. SHANK1 mutations linked to mild effects, SHANK2 for moderate and SHANK2 for severe.
