Excess of rare, inherited truncating mutations in autism

To assess the relative impact of inherited and de novo variants on autism risk, we generated a comprehensive set of exonic single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and copy number variants (CNVs) from 2,377 autism families. We find that private, inherited truncating SNVs in conserved genes are enriched in...
