Using Genomics to Stratify and Understand Complex Human Behavior Including Autism

Objectives:
Through the review of specific example studies, gain an understanding of:

• Learn to clinically recognize individuals most likely to have monogenic causes of behavioral conditions.
• Learn how to scale genomic implementation for neurobehavioral conditions.
• Appreciate the opportunities and limitations to genetic diagnoses based upon ascertainment.
