Search for new physics in low-energy electron recoils from the first LZ exposure
Aalbers, J.; Akerib, D. S.; Al Musalhi, A. K.; Alder, F.; Amarasinghe, C. S.; Ames, A.; Anderson, T. J.; Angelides, N.; Araújo, H. M.; Armstrong, J. E.The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is a dark matter detector centered on a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber. We report searches for new physics appearing through few-keV-scale electron recoils, using the experiment’s first exposure of 60 live days and a fiducial mass of 5.5 t. The data are found to be consistent with a background-only hypothesis, and limits are set on models for new physics including solar ...

Aalbers, J.; Akerib, D. S.; Akerlof, C. W.; Al Musalhi, A. K.; Alder, F.; Alqahtani, A.; Alsum, S. K.; Amarasinghe, C. S.; Ames, A.; Anderson, T. J.9 pages, 8 figures. See https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.041002 for a data release related to this paper; The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment is a dark matter detector centered on a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber operating at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, USA. This Letter reports results from LUX-ZEPLIN's first search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) wit...

Use of early intervention for young children with autism spectrum disorder acro...
Salomone, E.; Beranová, Š.; Bonnet-Brilhault, F.; Briciet Lauritsen, M.; Budisteanu, M.; Buitelaar, J.; Canal-Bedia, R.; Felhosi, G.Little is known about use of early interventions for autism spectrum disorder in Europe. Parents of children with autism spectrum disorder aged 7 years or younger (N = 1680) were recruited through parent organisations in 18 European countries and completed an online survey about the interventions their child received. There was considerable variation in use of interventions, and in some countries more than 20% ...
Convergence of genes and cellular pathways dysregulated in autism spectrum diso...
Pinto, D.; Delaby, E.; Merico, D.; Barbosa, M.; Merikangas, A.; Klei, L; Thiruvahindrapuram, B.; Xu, X.; Ziman, R.; Wang, Z.; Vorstman, J.A.Rare copy-number variation (CNV) is an important source of risk for autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). We analyzed 2,446 ASD-affected families and confirmed an excess of genic deletions and duplications in affected versus control groups (1.41-fold, p = 1.0 × 10(-5)) and an increase in affected subjects carrying exonic pathogenic CNVs overlapping known loci associated with dominant or X-linked ASD and intellectua...

Hadley, D.; Wu, Z.L.; Kao, C.; Kini, A.; Mohamed-Hadley, A.; Thomas, K.; Vazquez, L.; Qiu, H.; Mentch, F.; Pellegrino, R.; Kim, C.; Connolly, J.Although multiple reports show that defective genetic networks underlie the aetiology of autism, few have translated into pharmacotherapeutic opportunities. Since drugs compete with endogenous small molecules for protein binding, many successful drugs target large gene families with multiple drug binding sites. Here we search for defective gene family interaction networks (GFINs) in 6,742 patients with the ASDs...
Individual common variants exert weak effects on the risk for autism spectrum d...
Anney, R.; Klei, L.; Pinto, D.; Almeida, J.; Bacchelli, E.; Baird, G.; Bolshakova, N.; Bölte, S.; Bolton, P.F.; Bourgeron, T.; Brennan, S.; Brian, J.While it is apparent that rare variation can play an important role in the genetic architecture of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), the contribution of common variation to the risk of developing ASD is less clear. To produce a more comprehensive picture, we report Stage 2 of the Autism Genome Project genome-wide association study, adding 1301 ASD families and bringing the total to 2705 families analysed (Stage...

Casey, J.P.; Magalhaes, T.; Conroy, J.M.; Regan, R.; Shah, N.; Anney, R.; Shields, D.C.; Abrahams, B.S.; Almeida, J.; Bacchelli, E.; Bailey, A.J.Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly heritable disorder of complex and heterogeneous aetiology. It is primarily characterized by altered cognitive ability including impaired language and communication skills and fundamental deficits in social reciprocity. Despite some notable successes in neuropsychiatric genetics, overall, the high heritability of ASD (~90%) remains poorly explained by common genetic ris...

Anney, R.J.; Kenny, E.M.; O'Dushlaine, C.; Parkhomenka, E.; Buxbaum, J.D.; Sutcliffe, J.; Gill, M.; Gallagher, L.; Bailey, A.J.; Fernandez, B.A.Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have implicated a range of genes from discrete biological pathways in the aetiology of autism. However, despite the strong influence of genetic factors, association studies have yet to identify statistically robust, replicated major effect genes or SNPs. We apply the principle of the SNP ratio test methodology described by O'Dushlaine et al to over 2100 families fro...
