This paper identifies 35 genome-wide significant ASD risk genes in admixed Latin American populations, showing consistency with European cohorts and supporting the universality of ASD biology.

This study shows that alpha4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are required for organophosphate-induced neuronal hyperexcitability in vitro and in vivo.

This study identifies 99 genes associated with autism spectrum disorder through large-scale exome sequencing, showing differences in mutation frequencies between ASD and severe neurodevelopmental delay groups.
