Evaluation of familial phenotype deviation to measure the impact of de novo mutations in autism
Familial DNV analysis provides accurate effect estimates, a reliable basis for predicting clinical outcomes, and precise support while minimizing confounding from family background. This approach improves the identification of ASD-associated genes with true phenotypic effects by reducing variability, as well as genes with genuine phenotypic heterogeneity across families driven by mutation site. These findings enhance our understanding of ASD phenotype variability and inform potential targets for intervention.
