Relevance to Autism

35 unique de novo variants (including 19 predicted loss-of-function alleles and 5 missense variants experimentally shown to be loss-of-function) in the DDX3X gene were identified in 38 female cases with intellectual disability, 20 of whom also presented with behavioral problems including autism spectrum disorder, hyperactivity, and aggression (Snijders Blok et al., 2015). A de novo splice-site variant in this gene was also identified in an ASD proband from the Simons Simplex Collection (Iossifov et al., 2014).

Molecular Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the large DEAD-box protein family, that is defined by the presence of the conserved Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD) motif,and acts as a multifunctional ATP-dependent RNA helicase. Nuclear roles for the encoded protein include transcriptional regulation, mRNP assembly, pre-mRNA splicing, and mRNA export, while in the cytoplasm, this protein is thought to be involved in translation and cellular signaling.

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.

S

Syndromic

See all Category S Genes

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."

Description

35 unique de novo variants (including 19 predicted loss-of-function alleles and 5 missense variants experimentally shown to be loss-of-function) in the DDX3X gene were identified in 38 female cases with intellectual disability, 20 of whom also presented with behavioral problems including autism spectrum disorder, hyperactivity, and aggression (Snijders Blok et al., 2015). A de novo splice-site variant in this gene was also identified in an ASD proband from the Simons Simplex Collection (Iossifov et al., 2014). A second de novo loss-of-function variant in the DDX3X 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, a probability of LoF intolerance rate (pLI) > 0.9, and higher-than-expected mutation rate (false discovery rate < 15%), DDX3X was classified as an ASD candidate gene in Yuen et al., 2017.

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).

Ranking 1082/18225 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

[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).

Score 0.29074388690476

Ranking 2871/20870 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.
