Saliva methylation from 37 autistic adults vs 188 public controls showed elevated Brain, Blood and Liver SystemsAge subscores, while global clocks (Horvath, GrimAge, DunedinPACE) showed no difference.

This study identifies 135 ASD-associated protein-coding genes using whole-genome sequencing data from 11,312 individuals and exome sequencing from over 18,000 trios, with a false discovery rate of 80%.

The paper examines neural dynamics of executive function in kindergarteners with ASD using EEG to predict academic achievement.

The paper shows damaging de novo mutations in ASD are linked to impaired motor skills, independent of IQ, and proposes a new classification of phenotypic severity based on these associations.

The paper introduces the Healthy Brain Network (HBN) biobank, a large-scale multimodal dataset for pediatric mental health and learning disorders research, with initial data release.
