Multiplex Targeted Sequencing Identifies Recurrently Mutated Genes in Autism Spectrum Disorders

April 9, 2013

Many denovo mutations in autism but few recurrant ones.

“Here they examined over 2000 probands and found only a handful of recurrent mutations…. Also In this article they mention a beta catenin-chromatin remodelling network that seems to encompass a majority of these genes”
