SPARK pilot study identifies novel candidate autism risk genes Findings from the first SPARK genetics study have now been published. The study, which analyzed whole-exome and genome-wide genotyping data from 457 autism families, confirmed known genetic findings and identified new candidate autism risk genes.

Simons Searchlight: New data release New Simons Searchlight data were recently added to SFARI Base. This data release included phenotypic data from individuals with 16p11.2 copy number variants (CNVs), 1q21.1 CNVs and variants in 21 single genes associated with autism and related neurodevelopmental disorders.

Simons VIP rebranded as Simons Searchlight The Simons Variation in Individuals Project (Simons VIP) has been recently rebranded as Simons Searchlight. The new name aims to better reflect the program’s mission to build strong partnerships between researchers and families in order to shed light on genetic neurodevelopmental conditions.
