Abstract

Inherited variation contributes to autism: About one-quarter of genetic variants that are associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are due to de novo mutations in protein-coding genes. Brandler et al. wanted to determine whether changes in noncoding regions of the genome are associated with autism. They applied whole-genome sequencing to ∼2600 families with at least one affected child. Children with ASD had inherited structural variants in noncoding regions from their father. Regulatory regions of some specific genes were disrupted among multiple families, supporting the idea that a component of autism risk involves inherited noncoding variation.

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

  • More complex structural DNA variations are involved in ASD.

    “More complex structural DNA variations are also involved in ASD15,16.”
  • Whole-genome analysis of structural variants in large samples has captured inherited variants including deletions disrupting individual genes or cis-regulatory elements.

    “Recently, whole genome analysis of SVs in large samples has succeeded in capturing a broader array of inherited variants including deletions that disrupt individual genes or cis-regulatory elements (Brandler et al., 2018).”

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.
