Figure 1. Overview of the tandem repeat landscape in ASD. (1) Sequencing advancements accelerate TR discovery in ASD; (2) Parent-of-origin effects clarify parental bias in TR transmission; (3) Mechanistic diversity shapes a multi-layered TR regulatory spectrum; (4) Current challenges and future directions in TR-ASD research. ASD: Autism spectrum disorder; TR: tandem repeat; SR-WGS: short-read whole-genome sequencing; LR-WGS: long-read whole-genome sequencing.
