Relevance to Autism

Two de novo variants (one nonsense, one missense) in the CTNNB1 gene were identified in unrelated simplex ASD cases (PMIDs 22495309 and 23160955). Three de novo LoF variants in CTNNB1 (two frameshift, one nonsense) have been identified in unrelated patients with a similar phenotypic profile: severe ID, absent or very limited speech, microcephaly, and spasticity (PMIDs 23033978 and 24614104). De novo LoF variants in CTNNB1 were identified in a total of six patients from the Deciphering Developmental Disorders study (PMID 25533962). A de novo LoF variant in CTNNB1 was identifed in a proband from the Pediatric Cardiac Genetics Consortium who presented with ASD, developmental delay, and intellectual disability in addition to congenital heart disease (Homsy et al., 2015). Conditional knockout mice with CTNNB1-deficient parvalbumin interneurons exhibited significantly impaired object recognition and social interactions, elevated repetitive behaviors, and increased anxiety (Dong et al., 2016). Two de novo protein-truncating variants in CTNNB1 were identified in ASD probands from the Autism Sequencing Consortium in Satterstrom et al., 2020; two protein-truncating variants in this gene were also observed in case samples from the Danish iPSYCH study in the same report. TADA analysis of de novo variants from the Simons Simplex Collection and the Autism Sequencing Consortium and protein-truncating variants from iPSYCH in Satterstrom et al., 2020 identified CTNNB1 as a candidate gene with a false discovery rate (FDR) 0.01. A two-stage analysis of rare de novo and inherited coding variants in 42,607 ASD cases, including 35,130 new cases from the SPARK cohort, in Zhou et al., 2022 identified CTNNB1 as a gene reaching study-wide significance based on 5,754 constraint genes (P < 8.69E-06).

Molecular Function

The protein encoded by this gene is part of a complex of proteins that constitute adherens junctions (AJs). AJs are necessary for the creation and maintenance of epithelial cell layers by regulating cell growth and adhesion between cells. The encoded protein also anchors the actin cytoskeleton and may be responsible for transmitting the contact inhibition signal that causes cells to stop dividing once the epithelial sheet is complete. Finally, this protein binds to the product of the APC gene, which is mutated in adenomatous polyposis of the colon.

Description

Two de novo variants (one nonsense, one missense) in the CTNNB1 gene were identified in unrelated simplex ASD cases (PMIDs 22495309 and 23160955). Three de novo LoF variants in CTNNB1 (two frameshift, one nonsense) have been identified in unrelated patients with a similar phenotypic profile: severe ID, absent or very limited speech, microcephaly, and spasticity (PMIDs 23033978 and 24614104). De novo LoF variants in CTNNB1 were identified in a total of six patients from the Deciphering Developmental Disorders study (PMID 25533962). A de novo LoF variant in CTNNB1 was identifed in a proband from the Pediatric Cardiac Genetics Consortium who presented with ASD, developmental delay, and intellectual disability in addition to congenital heart disease (Homsy et al., 2015). Conditional knockout mice with CTNNB1-deficient parvalbumin interneurons exhibited significantly impaired object recognition and social interactions, elevated repetitive behaviors, and increased anxiety (Dong et al., 2016).

Krishnan Probability Score

Score 0.49018309626028

Ranking 6229/25841 scored genes


[Show Scoring Methodology]
Krishnan and colleagues generated probability scores genome-wide by using a machine learning approach on a human brain-specific gene network. The method was first presented in Nat Neurosci 19, 1454-1462 (2016), and scores for more than 25,000 RefSeq genes can be accessed in column G of supplementary table 3 (see: http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/v19/n11/extref/nn.4353-S5.xlsx). A searchable browser, with the ability to view networks of associated ASD risk genes, can be found at asd.princeton.edu.
ExAC Score

Score 0.99981274950371

Ranking 765/18225 scored genes


[Show Scoring Methodology]
The Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) is a summary database of 60,706 exomes that has been widely used to estimate 'constraint' on mutation for individual genes. It was introduced by Lek et al. Nature 536, 285-291 (2016), and the ExAC browser can be found at exac.broadinstitute.org. The pLI score was developed as measure of intolerance to loss-of- function mutation. A pLI > 0.9 is generally viewed as highly constrained, and thus any loss-of- function mutations in autism in such a gene would be more likely to confer risk. For a full list of pLI scores see: ftp://ftp.broadinstitute.org/pub/ExAC_release/release0.3.1/functional_gene_constraint/fordist_cle aned_exac_nonTCGA_z_pli_rec_null_data.txt
Iossifov Probability Score

Score 0.845

Ranking 199/239 scored genes


[Show Scoring Methodology]
Supplementary dataset S2 in the paper by Iossifov et al. (PNAS 112, E5600-E5607 (2015)) lists 239 genes with a probability of at least 0.8 of being associated with autism risk (column I). This probability metric combines the evidence from de novo likely-gene- disrupting and missense mutations and assesses it against the background mutation rate in unaffected individuals from the University of Washington’s Exome Variant Sequence database (evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/). The list of probability scores can be found here: www.pnas.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1073/pnas.1516376112/- /DCSupplemental/pnas.1516376112.sd02.xlsx
Sanders TADA Score

Score 0.4809139690573

Ranking 409/18665 scored genes


[Show Scoring Methodology]
The TADA score ('Transmission and De novo Association') was introduced by He et al. PLoS Genet 9(8):e1003671 (2013), and is a statistic that integrates evidence from both de novo and transmitted mutations. It forms the basis for the claim of 65 individual genes being strongly associated with autism risk at a false discovery rate of 0.1 (Sanders et al. Neuron 87, 1215-1233 (2015)). The calculated TADA score for 18,665 RefSeq genes can be found in column P of Supplementary Table 6 in the Sanders et al. paper (the column headed 'tadaFdrAscSscExomeSscAgpSmallDel'), which represents a combined analysis of exome data and small de novo deletions (see www.cell.com/cms/attachment/2038545319/2052606711/mmc7.xlsx).
Larsen Cumulative Evidence Score

Score 14

Ranking 137/461 scored genes


[Show Scoring Methodology]
Larsen and colleagues generated gene scores based on the sum of evidence for all available ASD-associated variants in a gene, with assessments based on mode of inheritance, effect size, and variant frequency in the general population. The approach was first presented in Mol Autism 7:44 (2016), and scores for 461 genes can be found in column I in supplementary table 4 from that paper.
Zhang D Score

Score 0.30610409108621

Ranking 2646/20870 scored genes


[Show Scoring Methodology]
The DAMAGES score (disease-associated mutation analysis using gene expression signatures), or D score, was developed to combine evidence from de novo loss-of- function mutation with evidence from cell-type- specific gene expression in the mouse brain (specifically translational profiles of 24 specific mouse CNS cell types isolated from 6 different brain regions). Genes with positive D scores are more likely to be associated with autism risk, with higher-confidence genes having higher D scores. This statistic was first presented by Zhang & Shen (Hum Mutat 38, 204- 215 (2017), and D scores for more than 20,000 RefSeq genes can be found in column M in supplementary table 2 from that paper.
