Our goals are:

1. to advance the molecular diagnosis of autism and neurodevelopmental disorders using genetic studies. 2. to understand the biological machinery affected by genetic variation in autism and neurodevelopmental disorders using in vitro studies. 3. to work towards therapies. 4. to increase education and awareness of genetic causes of autism and neurodevelopmental disorders.
