Genome Medicine, Sep 2024 Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analyses have found higher genetic burden in autistic females compared to males, supporting higher liability threshold in females. However, genomic evidence of sex differences has been limited to European ancestry to date and little is known about how genetic variation leads to autism-related traits within families across sex.

1. Introduction Over the past 10 years, there has been a notable increase in empirical studies focused on the transition from junior to senior levels in sports. The shift, often referred to as the junior-to-senior transition (JST), is regarded as one of the most challenging periods in an athlete’s career (Stambulova, 2009). Athletes perceive the JST as a significant leap, one that involves a substantial increase in practice and performance standards compared to their previous experience.
