This methods‑focused review addresses missing heritability and co‑heritability in genomic studies, considering polygenicity, rare variants, gene–gene and gene–environment interactions, and phenotype definition. It surveys analytical strategies—from improved GWAS modeling to partitioning heritability and family‑based designs—to better capture shared genetic architecture. Recommendations emphasize data integration and robust inference to close current explanatory gaps.
According to the results of our laboratory the theory of immune dysfunction, the theory on the genetic architecture of ASD, the disrupted cortical connectivity theory and the theory on the contribution of cerebellum to ASD have shown fundamental experimental evidences to support the core symptoms of the complex and enigmatic physiopathology of autism spectrum disorder. The additional hypothesis about the neurogenesis in the amygdala, the contribution of oxytocin, vasopressin, the mirror neuron network, and mitochondrial dysfunction described are stimulating and interesting approaches that deserve further systematic basic and clinical neuroscience research.
