Autism
Introduction
The Autism test is based on Whole Genome Sequencing Test. As such, it analyzes all Common and Rare Variants associated with Autism instead of a limited
set of genes. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a condition that appears very early in childhood development, varies in severity, and is characterized by
impaired social skills, communication problems, and repetitive behaviors. These difficulties can interfere with affected individuals' ability to function in social,
academic, and employment settings. People with ASD also have an increased risk of psychiatric problems such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive
disorder, and eating disorders. Along with environmental factors, Genetics plays a key role in the regulation of Autism. - 35 genes analyzed - 100% of

CNTNAP2
In 2 independent family-based samples, Arking et al. (2008) identified a common variant in the CNTNAP2 gene, rs7794745, that was associated with increased risk for autism (AUTS15; 612100). This
SNP resides in intron 2 of the CNTNAP2 gene. In the combined sample, overall transmission frequency of the T allele to affected children (tau = 0.55, p less than 7.35 x 10(05)) was significantly greater
from mothers (tau = 0.61) than from fathers (tau = 0.53), and this parent-of-origin difference was significant (P less than 0.001).

Glossary
Symbol Description
Zygosity describes whether you inherited one copy of this variant from one of your parents (heterozygous), or
you inherited two copies from both of your partents (homozygous). Typically for pathogenic variants
ZYG Zygosity homozygosity cause a more severe form of the condition. In many cases, heterozygous variants do not lead to the
condition becoming apparent in the patient (also known as a recessive condition) but do mean that the next
generation is at risk of inheriting the condition (or themselves becoming a carrier).
American The American College of Medical Genetics is an organisation dedicated to the practice of medical genetics. Using a
College of series of factors related to the variant and its context, they have identified the likelihood of a specific variant being

Dominant X-linked dominant disorders are caused by mutations in genes on the X chromosome, one of the two
sex chromosomes in each cell. In one of the two sex chromosomes in each cell. In females (who have two X
X-linked chromosomes), a mutation in one of the two copies of the gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. In
X-linked
dominant males (who have only one X chromosome), a mutation in the only copy of the gene in each cell causes the
disorder. In most cases, males experience more severe symptoms of the disorder than females. A characteristic of
X-linked inheritance is that fathers cannot pass X-linked traits to their sons (no male-to-male transmission).
A condition is considered Y-linked if the mutated gene that causes the disorder is located on the Y chromosome,
Y-linked Y-linked one of the two sex chromosomes in each of a male's cells. Because only males have a Y chromosome, in Y-linked
inheritance, a mutation can only be passed from father to son.
Mitochondrial inheritance, also known as maternal inheritance, applies to genes in mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondria,
which are structures in each cell that convert molecules into energy, each contain a small amount of DNA. Because
only egg cells contribute mitochondria to the developing embryo, only females can pass on mitochondrial

mutations to their children. Conditions resulting from mutations in mitochondrial DNA can appear in every
generation of a family and can affect both males and females, but fathers do not pass these disorders to their
daughters or sons.

Methods
Versions
Extraction
Before sequencing, DNA extraction and library preparation processes were carried-out by automated liquid handling robots. Sequencing was completed using the NovaSeq 6000
instrument (Illumina).
The Nextera DNA Flex (Illumina) library was used during sequencing.
Analysis
Primary and secondary analysis was performed on the Illumina DRAGEN platform. Our secondary analysis extends the GATK "best practices" pipeline. This includes Variant Quality
Score Recalibration
It is important to note that applying a filter will not remove any data from the VCF file; it will just
annotate the “FILTER” column. Variants with the “PASS” annotation are
considered high quality
and may, therefore, be used for advanced downstream analysis.
Sequence data is primarily aligned to the GATK GRCh37 reference genome and mitochondria is aligned to the Revised Cambridge Reference Sequence (NC_012920.1). Additional
references may have been requested though tertiary analysis is not conducted on variant calls using references other than GRCh37.
Limitations
Test results are not interpretations. All variants reported in the genes included in the panel are reported.
Due to limited read length and other contributing technical limitations, repeat expansions (e.g. in the Huntington gene, the SCA-genes, the myotonic dystrophy repeat region,
and other similar regions) cannot be assessed with the applied method

Because of scientific and medical information changes over time, your risk assessment for one or more of the conditions contained within this report may also change over time.
For example, opinions differ on the importance and relative weights given to genetic factors.

This test has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that clearance or
approval of this method is not necessary and thus neither have been obtained.
