Gene functional networks and autism spectrum characteristics in young people with intellectual disability: a dimensional phenotyping study

ConclusionWe report that gene functional networks can predict Inflexibility, but not other ASC dimensions. Contrasting behavioural associations within each group suggest network-specific developmental pathways from genomic variation to autism. Simple classification of neurodevelopmental disorder genes as high risk or low risk for autism is unlikely to be valid or useful.
