To further explore the functional relevance of differentially expressed transcripts, we cross-referenced our results with the SFARI database (https://gene.sfari.org/), a comprehensive resource cataloging autism-related genetic factors, identifying several transcripts previously reported as associated with autism, including GIGYF1, SMARCC2, EPHA1, IL1R2, KCNJ15, KMT2E, MYH10, NLGN3, SBF1, and SGSM3 (S5 Table).We further examined the mRNA expression levels of these selected transcripts across various tissues using the GTEx portal (https://gtexportal.org/home/) (S8 Fig). Here, SBF1 is linked to autism.
