Leveraging genetic sequencing data of the protein-coding portion of the human genome from more than 60,000 individuals, we found 72 genes to be associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at a stringent threshold of less than 0.1% false discovery rate (FDR). The bulk of the evidence for these implicated genes were contributed by de [...]
