Male–Female comparison.
| Male | Female | p-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants | 9 (10.6%) | 15 (28.8%) | 0.006 |
| Age | 61.93 | 60.52 | 0.792 |
| IQ | 53.48 | 52.24 | 0.616 |
| SRS (total T-score) | 82.86 | 93.91 | 0.024 |
| SCQ | 16.58 | 17.75 | 0.434 |
| CARS | 31.16 | 33.25 | 0.045 |
| Comorbid ID | 65 (76.5%) | 39 (75.0%) | 0.845 |
| Comorbid epilepsy | 6 (7.1%) | 8 (15.4%) | 0.118 |
There were more females who have pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants (p = 0.006). Females showed higher SRS T-score (p = 0.024) and CARS score (p = 0.045) on average. There were no significant differences in age, IQ, SCQ, and comorbidity of ID, epilepsy. IQ, Intelligence quotient; SCQ, Social Communication Questionnaire; CARS, The Childhood Autism Rating Scales; ID, Intellectual disability. BOLD: p < 0.05.
