The paper compares the phenotypic and genetic structures of psychiatric symptoms in autistic and non-autistic children, finding differences in factor structures and genetic associations.

The paper identifies 253 autism-associated genes using rare variation from 62,429 individuals and finds pleiotropy across physiological systems and developmental disorders.

Polygenic score variants in HAQERs (Human Ancestor Quickly Evolved Regions, <0.1% of the genome) predict spoken language but not nonverbal IQ; language associations replicate in SPARK, ABCD and UK Biobank.

The paper identifies eight sleep archetypes in autism using a large cohort and finds genetic associations with educational attainment, BMI, and ADHD, while suggesting distinct genetic drivers from the general population.

The paper examines polygenic scores' associations with gender diversity and mental health in two studies, finding stronger links with cognitive performance than neuropsychiatric conditions.

The paper examines how environmental adversity moderates polygenic score effects on childhood behavioral problems using data from two U.S. cohorts.

The paper identifies 60 new moderate risk genes for autism by integrating de novo and inherited variants across 42,607 cases and 236,000 controls.

The paper investigates the genetic liabilities of autism subscales, finding heritable, pleiotropic traits with sex-specific effects and stronger genetic signals in the RBS-R instrument.
