A combined analysis investigating both rare and common gene variants supported the evidence of the role of several genes/loci associated with autism (e.g., NRXN1, ADNP, 22q11 deletion) and revealed new variants in known autism-risk genes such as ADPNP, NRXN1, NINL, and MECP2 and identified new compelling candidate genes such as KALRN, PLA2G4A, and RIMS4 (Leblond et al., 2019). This evidence concerns the gene ADNP and autism.
