Interactions between WGS variation and polygenic risk in ASD

Hilary Coon’s laboratory aims to further our understanding of the unknown genetic liability in ASD. Coon will provide a comprehensive characterization of whole genome sequence (WGS) data in 1138 Simons Simplex Collection families using novel genetic mutational analyses and behavioral classification measures. By stratifying families/probands into behavioral subsets and using background genetic risk to elucidate new causal WGS risk variants within these subsets, Coon aims to uncover new genetic ASD risk variants.
