Database-assisted screening of autism spectrum disorder related gene set.

ABSTRACT: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by social and communication difficulties, along with repetitive behaviors. While genetic factors play a significant role in ASD, the precise genetic landscape remains complex and not fully understood, particularly in non-syndromic cases. The study performed an in silico comparison of three genetic databases. ClinVar, SFARI Gene, and AutDB were utilized to identify relevant gene subset and genetic variations associated with non-syndromic ASD. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis were conducted to elucidate the biological significance of the identified genes. The integrity of ASD-related gene subset and the distribution of their variations were statistically as
