Brain-enriched coding and long non-coding RNA genes are overrepresented in recurrent autism spectrum disorder CNVs

Hamid Alinejad‐Rokny, Julian Ik‐Tsen Heng, Alistair R. R. Forrest

The paper identifies 47 high-confidence ASD-associated CNV regions and shows brain-enriched coding and lncRNA genes are overrepresented in these regions.
