MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Population Diagnostics, Inc. (“PDx”), a private company with a novel approach for systematically uncovering the genetic causes of disease as well as the genetic basis of drug efficacy and safety, together with collaborators from The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto, reported today in the journal G3 (Genes¦Genomes¦Genetics) the discovery of a collection of gene variants for autism spectrum disorder. These variants confer clinical utility and will enable a new generation of early detection diagnostic tests that will be highly sought after by the patient community. The newly discovered variants will also provide insights into the emerging field of drug discovery for autism.
