Autism Spectrum Disorders Testing at PreventionGenetics
Published on
Background
ASDs are common, affecting approximately 1 in 68 individuals. Both males and females are affected but the male-to-female ratio of ASDs are 4:1. ASDs are multifactorial, with estimates ranging between 50-90% having genetic components. The clinical presentation of Intellectual Disabilities (IDs) can overlap with ASDs.
Our Testing Options
PreventionGenetics has developed testing options for those interested in either comprehensive or focused ASD analyses. Our comprehensive ASD-ID panel includes ~2000 genes with both associations to ASD and syndromic/nonsyndromic intellectual disabilities. Due to the relevance of de novo variation in ASD, we recommend trio analysis. Only variants relevant to the patient’s clinical features are reported for this test.
The Autism Spectrum Disorders and X-Linked Intellectual Disability sequencing panels are focused panels in which any variant interpreted as uncertain or higher is confirmed and included in the report. These panels include genes that have either been frequently linked to ASD phenotypes or have strong literature associations with ASD or X-linked intellectual disability.
