Abstract

Genetic factor plays a critical role in the etiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Both common variants with a small effect and rare mutations with a large effect contribute toward the genetic basis of ASD, showing the high genetic heterogeneity of ASD. Genomic rearrangements account for around 10-15% of its genetic landscape. However, they are highly individualized and each of them has a very rare frequency.
