This webinar will explore the most recent research findings on the genetics of Autism Spectrum Disorder. Its objective is to cultivate an understanding of the efficacy of whole-genome sequencing as a vital tool for deciphering the complexities of autism genetics. Participants will acquire insights into the compelling evidence supporting the involvement of various rare genetic variants in influencing susceptibility to autism.

Furthermore, the webinar will underscore the significance of approaching autism polygenic scores with caution, emphasizing their limited informativeness at both individual and familial levels. Attendees will also be educated on identifying potential sources contributing to the "missing heritability" in autism.
