TL;DR

The identification of GFAP variants raises the hypothesis that astrocytic dysfunction may play a role in a subset of ASD cases, though this finding requires independent replication and functional validation.

Phenotypic Complexity and Diagnostic Utility of Exome Sequencing in ASD: Real-World Insights from Colombia

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a genetically heterogeneous condition; however, genomic data from Latin American populations remain limited. We investigated the molecular and phenotypic landscape of ASD in 916 Colombian patients who underwent whole-exome sequencing (WES) between 2022 and 2025. Clinical and genomic da...

Rare genetic variation in adults with surgically treated temporal lobe epilepsy: An exome sequencing study

The results suggest that single‐gene causes are rare in adults with TLE, consistent with previous reports indicating a low diagnostic yield of presurgical genetic testing and further support a predominantly polygenic architecture of TLE.
