Sex bias in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and Tourette syndrome (TS).

Researchers identified dozens of genes that seem to cumulatively raise autism risks when mutated. Know more about the genetic factors behind this condition.

The variants are associated with slight differences in measures of intelligence, income and employment, but the relationship may not be causal.

Nonrandom mating — the propensity for people to partner with others who share their traits — can increase the likelihood of autism or other conditions across…

A massive update to the MSSNG dataset gives qualified researchers ready access to explore autism’s genetic architecture on a cloud-based platform.

New, recently published, research findings support a genetic link between sleep, circadian rhythms and autism.

Compared with their unaffected siblings and unrelated controls, children with autism harbor more copy number variants in genes that govern the circadian cycle or are associated with insomnia.

Clinicians should consider ASD genetic screening in youths with a psychotic diagnosis due to the high genetic burden from rare copy number variants in both groups.

Troves of sequencing data reveal genes tied to autism through different variant types, providing a more complete picture of the condition’s genetic roots and new clues to its heterogeneity.
