Abha R. Gupta, MD, PhD will provide a brief review of human genetics and the types of mutations researchers look for to associate with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). She will review the variety of techniques researchers have used to identify such mutations and what the results of these investigations have been for ASD. She will discuss the medical assessment of individuals with ASD, with a focus on clinical genetic testing. Finally, she will discuss important future directions and challenges for the field of ASD genetics.
