Abstract

New technologies enabling genome-wide interrogation have led to a large and rapidly growing number of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) candidate genes. Although encouraging, the volume and complexity of these data make it challenging for scientists, particularly non-geneticists, to comprehensively evaluate available evidence for individual genes. Described here is the Gene Scoring module within SFARI Gene 2.0 (https://​gene.​sfari.​org/​autdb/​GS_​Home.​do), a platform developed to enable systematic community driven assessment of genetic evidence for individual genes with regard to ASD.
