The identification of rare inherited and de novo copy number variations (CNVs) in human
subjects has proven a productive approach to highlight risk genes for autism spectrum …

Structural variation is thought to play a major etiological role in the development of autism
spectrum disorders (ASDs), and numerous studies documenting the relevance of copy …

Copy number variations (CNVs) are a major cause of genetic disruption in the human
genome with far more nucleotides being altered by duplications and deletions than by single …

Copy number variants (CNVs) have a major role in the etiology of autism spectrum disorders
(ASD), and several of these have reached statistical significance in case–control analyses …

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are highly heritable, yet relatively few associated genetic
loci have been replicated. Copy number variations (CNVs) have been implicated in autism; …

Copy-number variants (CNVs) are a major contributor to the pathophysiology of autism
spectrum disorders (ASDs), but the functional impact of CNVs remains largely unexplored …

Abstract Background Copy number variations (CNVs) and DNA sequence alterations
affecting specific neuronal genes are established risk factors for Autism Spectrum Disorder …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) describes a group of neurodevelopmental disorders with
high heritability, although the underlying genetic determinants of ASDs remain largely …

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders with a complex
genetic etiology. We used high‐resolution whole genome array‐based comparative …

There now exist multiple lines of evidence pointing to a significant genetic component
underlying the aetiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). The advent of methodologies …
