Integrated model of de novo and inherited genetic variants yields greater power to identify risk genes.

Integrated model of de novo and inherited genetic variants yields greater power to identify risk genes.

De novo mutations affect risk for many diseases and disorders, especially those with early-onset. An example is autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Four recent whole-exome sequencing (WES) studies of ASD families revealed a handful of novel risk genes, based on independent de novo loss-of-function (LoF...
