In recent years, the feasibility of performing large, genome-wide association studies (GWASs) has provided a powerful tool to identify susceptibility loci in complex diseases. GWASs utilize microarrays of several hundred thousand single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to capture a significant amount

In XY individuals, __Sry__, the mammalian testis‐determining gene, is expressed in the pre‐Sertoli cells, which then differentiate into Sertoli cells. Other cell types, which inclu

Recently, an increasing number of susceptibility variants have been identified for complex diseases. At the same time, the concern of "missing heritability" has also emerged. There is however no unified way to assess the heritability explained by individual genetic variants for binary outcomes. A sy

## Abstract Autism is a heritable disorder characterized by phenotypic and genetic complexity. This review begins by surveying current linkage, gene association, and cytogenetic studies performed with the goal of identifying autism disease susceptibility variants. Though numerous linkages and assoc
