Fig. 4: Strain sharing analysis reveals differences between ASD children and NTs that are linked to IQ.

a person-to-person strain sharing (left: with father, right: with mother) coloured by diagnosis (pink = ASD, blue = NTs, n = 1,525 and 1,525). b between sibling strain sharing rates for 111 species evaluated at the strain level divided by IQ category (≤70, >70 & ≤85, >85) (each dot represents a sample average rate of strain sharing, n = 1525). c father-child strain sharing. ASD children (n = 1525) are divided by IQ category (≤70, >70 & ≤85, >85). NTs are reported in blue. Red line represents the median of the ≤70 IQ group. d mother-child strain sharing. ASD children (n = 1525) are divided by IQ category (≤70, >70 & ≤85, >85). NTs are reported in blue. Red line represents the median of the ≤70 IQ group. Numbers refer to Post-hoc Dunn-test q values; ns (non-significant) refers to q > 0.05. ‘d’ stands for Cohen’s d (standardized mean difference).
