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 presents genetic and phenotypic data from 521 children with neurodevelopmental disorders in Kenya and South Africa, highlighting high genetic diagnosis rates linked to environmental risk factors.

The paper presents phenotype and genetic analysis of 206 children with neurodevelopmental disorders from Kenya and South Africa, identifying pathogenic variants in 17% of South African and 38% of Kenyan cases.

The paper investigates the female protective effect against autism spectrum disorder by analyzing genetic risk in siblings and parents of ASD cases, finding evidence of sex differences in inherited genetic risk.

This study shows low-coverage sequencing is more accurate and cost-effective than GWAS arrays for detecting genetic variation in diverse African populations.

This study identifies genetic overlaps between Tourette Syndrome risk and subcortical brain volumes using GWAS and pleiotropy analysis.

The paper investigates selection mechanisms underlying human brain structure and behavioral traits, finding evidence for ancient and recent polygenic adaptation but not classical selective sweeps.
