In addition to identifying risk loci, we have examined whether gene-sets previously implicated in ASD are similarly impacted with associated common genetic risk variants. The converging evidence across the variant spectrum should reinforce and expand our understanding of ASD biology. To uncover new biology, we have also examined enrichment of association across numerous functional and cellular annotations, as well as within canonical gene-sets.
