Researchers have found rare variants of genes known to be strongly associated with autism in 1% of individuals from the general population.
The variants are associated with slight differences in measures of intelligence, income and employment, but the relationship may not be causal.
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.
