Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and epilepsy frequently co-occur, with the clinical overlap particularly evident in individuals with intellectual disability, developmental impairment, and genetically defined neurodevelopmental disorders. Advances in genomic diagnostics have revealed substantial genetic and molecular convergence between ASD and epilepsy. This convergence encompasses both recurrent copy-number variants (CNVs), including 15q11-q13, 16p11.2, and 22q11.2 rearrangements, and...
