Abstract

Expression patterns of the diverse genes disrupted in autism spectrum disorders in the developing brain give a fresh perspective on the underlying biology.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Conservative estimates are that 10-20% of people with ASD harbour a de novo rare point mutation or CNV contributing to their presentation.

    “Conservative estimates are that 10 -20% of people with ASD harbour a de novo rare point mutation or CNV contributing to their presentation (34, 49,50).”

    From Autism spectrum disorder (2020) · cites this paper as [49]

    The section labeled Abstract says rare and de novo point mutations and submicroscopic chromosomal variations contribute to a considerable number of ASD cases. It does not give the claimed conservative estimate of 10–20%, so the numerical part is unsupported by our copy. (LLM, conf=0.84)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Although the study of ASD risk genes in model systems has revealed a great deal about general biology, how these findings relate to the pathophysiology of ASD is less clear.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
