Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder with a prevalence of 1.0-2.6%. The three core symptoms of ASD are:
1. impairments in reciprocal social interaction;
2. communication impairments;
3. presence of restricted, repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests and activities.
Genetic factors contribute significantly to ASD. AutismKB is an evidence-based knowledgebase of ASD genetics. The current version contains 3075 genes (99 syndromic autism related genes and 3022 non-syndromic autism related genes), 4964 Copy Number Variations (CNVs) and 158 linkage regions associated with ASD by one or more of the followingsix experimental methods:
1. Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS);
2. Genome-wide CNV studies;
3. Linkage analysis;
4. Low-scale genetic association studies;
5. Expression profiling;
6. Other low-scale gene studies.
Based on a scoring and ranking system, 99 syndromic autism related genes and 109 non-syndromic autism related genes (171 genes in total) were designated as having high confidence.
