Now I will introduce you a website named "AutismKB".

AutismKB is an evidence-based knowledgebase of ASD genetics. The current version contains 2193 genes (99 syndromic autism related genes and 2135 non-syndromic autism related genes), 4543 Copy Number Variations (CNVs) and 158 linkage regions associated with ASD by one or more of the following six experimental methods:

  • Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS);
  • Genome-wide CNV studies;
  • Linkage analysis;
  • Low-scale genetic association studies;
  • Expression profiling;
  • Other low-scale gene studies.
Based on a scoring and ranking system (More), 99 syndromic autism related genes and 383 non-syndromic autism related genes (434 genes in total) were designated as having high confidence (Core Dataset).
