Genetic evidence of gender difference in autism spectrum disorder supports the female-protective effect

摘要

Mutation load per person in ASD versus control group. Mutation load per person in male ASD subjects versus male controls. Mutation load per person in female ASD subjects versus female controls. Mutation load per person in male ASD subjects versus female ASD subjects. Mutation types are displayed by class. -values were calculated by Fisher’s exact test. The “p.adjust” function in R was employed to calculate the corrected -values for multiple comparisons, *adjusted  p p
