Rates of contributory de novo mutation in high and low-risk autism families

Yoon, Munoz, et al. investigate the rate of de novo coding and non-coding variants in families with high- and low-risk for autism using whole-genome sequence data from collections of families with autism. They demonstrate that de novo intronic variants increase the risk of autism, that the contribut...
