Dried Blood Spots Unlock Autism Genetics in 92 Chinese Children — A Cheaper DNA Path
Instead of hauling kids to a lab for a fresh blood draw, researchers now prick a finger, dry it on paper, mail it in, and decode the genome — low-friction genetic detective work.
This means whole-genome sequencing just became accessible in resource-limited settings, opening the door to understanding genetic variants in autism across underrepresented populations.
