Relevance to Autism

A de novo LoF variant in this gene was identified in an ASD proband from the Autism Sequencing Consortium (Neale et al., 2012). This gene was identified in Iossifov et al. 2015 as a strong candidate to be an ASD risk gene based on a combination of de novo mutational evidence and the absence or very low frequency of mutations in controls (PMID 26401017). A second de novo LoF variant in this gene was identified in an ASD proband from a simplex family from the ASD: Genomes to Outcome Study cohort by whole genome sequencing as part of the MSSNG initiative in Yuen et al., 2017. Based on the discovery of two de novo LoF variants in this gene in ASD probands, a probability of LoF intolerance rate (pLI) > 0.9, and higher-than-expected mutation rate (false discovery rate < 15%), SMARCC2 was determined to be an ASD candidate gene in Yuen et al., 2017. TADA-Annotations (TADA-A) analysis of whole-genome sequencing data from five studies with a total of 314 ASD-affected subjects in Liu et al., 2018 identified SMARCC2 as an ASD risk gene with a false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.3; among the de novo variants associated with this gene in ASD subjects was a loss-of-function variant and a splicing SNV. Machol et al., 2018 reported 15 unrelated individuals with variants in the SMARCC2 gene that presented with a neurodevelopmental syndrome characterized by developmental delay/intellectual disability, speech delay, and hypotonia; behavioral abnormalities were also frequently observed in this cohort, with one individual presenting with ASD and three others presenting with difficulties with social interactions. A de novo protein-truncating variant in SMARCC2 was identified in an ASD proband from the Autism Sequencing Consortium in Satterstrom et al., 2020; subsequent TADA analysis of de novo variants from the Simons Simplex Collection and the Autism Sequencing Consortium and protein-truncating variants from iPSYCH in this report identified SMARCC2 as a candidate gene with a false discovery rate (FDR) between 0.01 and 0.05 (0.01 < FDR 0.05). Three additional de novo loss-of-function variants in the SMARCC2 gene were reported in ASD probands from the SPARK cohort in Zhou et al., 2022; 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 this report identified SMARCC2 as a gene reaching exome-wide significance (P < 2.5E-06).. The protein encoded by the SMARCC2 gene interacts with the protein encoded by the high-confidence ASD gene ADNP (Mandel and Gozes, 2007).

Molecular Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the SWI/SNF family of proteins, whose members display helicase and ATPase activities and which are thought to regulate transcription of certain genes by altering the chromatin structure around those genes. The encoded protein is part of the large ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex SNF/SWI and contains a predicted leucine zipper motif typical of many transcription factors.

Based on the discovery of two de novo LoF variants in this gene in ASD probands, a probability of LoF intolerance rate (pLI) > 0.9, and higher-than-expected mutation rate (false discovery rate < 15%), SMARCC2 was determined to be an ASD candidate gene in Yuen et al., 2017. TADA-Annotations (TADA-A) analysis of whole-genome sequencing data from five studies with a total of 314 ASD-affected subjects in Liu et al., 2018 identified SMARCC2 as an ASD risk gene with a false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.3; among the de novo variants associated with this gene in ASD subjects was a loss-of-function variant and a splicing SNV. Machol et al., 2018 reported 15 unrelated individuals with variants in the SMARCC2 gene that presentedwith a neurodevelopmental syndrome characterized by developmental delay/intellectual disability, speech delay, and hypotonia; behavioral abnormalities were also frequently observed in this cohort, with one individual presenting with ASD and three others presenting with difficulties with social interactions.

High Confidence

See all Category 1 Genes

We considered a rigorous statistical comparison between cases and controls, yielding genome-wide statistical significance, with independent replication, to be the strongest possible evidence for a gene. These criteria were relaxed slightly for category 2.

The syndromic category includes mutations that are associated with a substantial degree of increased risk and consistently linked to additional characteristics not required for an ASD diagnosis. If there is independent evidence implicating a gene in idiopathic ASD, it will be listed as "#S" (e.g., 2S, 3S, etc.). If there is no such independent evidence, the gene will be listed simply as "S."

A de novo LoF variant in this gene was identified in an ASD proband from the Autism Sequencing Consortium (Neale et al., 2012). This gene was identified in Iossifov et al. 2015 as a strong candidate to be an ASD risk gene based on a combination of de novo mutational evidence and the absence or very low frequency of mutations in controls (PMID 26401017).

Krishnan Probability Score

Score 0.56537772870545

Ranking 1249/25841 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 0.99999998905853

Ranking 137/18225 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 0.923

Ranking 119/239 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 0.55407446642176

Ranking 575/18665 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).
Zhang D Score

Score 0.54113837789904

Ranking 278/20870 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.
