Although several genetic variants for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have now been identified, these largely occur sporadically or are de novo. Much less progress has been made in identifying inherited variants, even though the disorder itself is familial in the majority of cases. The objective of this study was to identify chromosomal regions that harbor inherited variants increasing the risk for ASD using an approach that examined both ASD and the broad autism phenotype (BAP) among a unique sample of extended pedigrees.

MENDEL (tool)

RRID:SCR_009288

Software application for genetic analysis of human pedigree data under models involving a small number of loci. MENDEL is useful for segregation analysis, linkage calculations, genetic counseling, allele frequency estimation, and related kinds of problems. (entry from Genetic Analysis Software)
