In joint work with the lab of Hyejung Won by joint postdoc Nana Matoba, we used the SPARK dataset to identify common genetic variants associated with risk for Autism Spectrum Disorder. We were able to replicate previous findings and also identify a new locus. For that new locus, we used a multiplex parallel reporter assay (MPRA) to identify a potential causal variant. We integrated this information with existing eQTL resources to identify genes of action for those variants. You can read more about this work in the pre-print here.
