Exploring the heterogeneity of neural social indices for genetically distinct etiologies of autism

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous disorder. Promising initiatives utilizing interdisciplinary characterization of ASD suggest phenotypic subtypes related to specific likely gene-disrupting mutations (LGDMs). However, the role of functionally associated LGDMs in the neural social phenotype is unknown.In this study of 26 children with ASD (n = 13 with an LGDM) and 13 control children, we characterized...
