Extended Data Figure 2

For illustrative purposes, we provide plots for TBV for males and females from the same sample. The longitudinal trajectories of total brain volume (TBV) from 6 to 24 months for the three groups examined are shown with males and females displayed separately. The trajectory of TBV for males among the three groups is similar to the pattern we see in the full sample (Fig. 1). The female HR-ASD group is quite small (n = 2), which makes the pattern of trajectory difficult to interpret. These figures support the general similarity of the findings in the combined sample and the male-only sample. Red, HR-ASD; green, HR-neg; blue, LR. TBV is shown in mm3. The age (in months) is corrected by length (body size, in cm).
