Background Phenotypic studies have identified distinct patterns of autistic characteristics in
genetic syndromes associated with intellectual disability (ID), leading to diagnostic …

While strong familial evidence supports a substantial genetic contribution to the etiology of
autism spectrum disorders (ASD), specific genetic abnormalities have been identified in only …

Background Autism typically presents with highly heterogeneous features, including
frequent comorbidity with intellectual disability (ID). The overlap between these phenotypes …

The clinical heterogeneity of autism spectrum disorders majorly challenges their genetic
