Abstract
We performed a comprehensive assessment of rare inherited variation in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by analyzing whole-genome sequences of 2,308 individuals from families with multiple affected children. We implicate 69 genes in ASD risk, including 24 passing genome-wide Bonferroni correction and 16 new ASD risk genes, most supported by rare inherited variants, a substantial extension of previous findings. Biological pathways enriched for genes harboring inherited variants represent cytoskeletal organization and ion transport, which are distinct from pathways implicated in previous studies. Nevertheless, the de novo and inherited genes contribute to a common protein-protein interaction network. We also identified structural variants (SVs) affecting non-coding regions, implicating recurrent deletions in the promoters of DLG2 and NR3C2. Loss of nr3c2 function in zebrafish disrupts sleep and social function, overlapping with human ASD-related phenotypes. These data support the utility of studying multiplex families in ASD and are available through the Hartwell Autism Research and Technology portal.

D.P.W. identified and supplied funding. E.K.R. and D.H.G. took the lead in writing the manuscript, and all authors reviewed, edited, and approved the manuscript. D.H.G. and D.P.W. supervised the experimental design and analysis and interpreted results. Data and Code Availability: The whole-genome sequencing data generated during this study are available from the Hartwell Foundation's Autism Research and Technology Initiative (iHART) following request and approval of the data use agreement available at http://www.ihart.org. Access to the whole-genome sequencing data generated in this study will be subject to approval by Autism Speaks and AGRE. Details about the format of the data, access options, and access instructions are included at http://www.ihart.org. We also freely provide the code for ARC (Artifact Removal by Classifier), our random forest supervised model developed to distinguish true rare de novo variants from LCL-specific genetic aberrations or other types of artifacts such as sequencing and mapping errors, together with a full tutorial at https://github.com/walllab/iHART-ARC. Interactive genotype/phenotype search engine: To facilitate sharing of iHART data with the broader autism research community and patients, we implemented a set of online data access methods to preview and search genetic variants and phenotypic traits (http://www.ihart.org/home). Zebrafish data: The zebrafish datasets generated and analyzed in this study, and the code used to generate the data, are available upon request.
