Resequencing at scale in neurodevelopmental disorders

Nature Genetics 49, 488 (2017). doi:10.1038/ng.3827 Author: David R FitzPatrick An international collaboration has assembled DNA samples and detailed phenotypic information from >13,000 individuals with a clinical diagnosis of either autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or intellectual disability/developmental delay (ID/DD). The application of molecular inversion probe technologies to sequence 208 candidate genes at scale in this impressive resource has identified a large set of plausibly causative mutations for these disorders.
