Relevance to Autism

Smith-Magenis syndrome is caused either by large interstitial deletions in the 17p11.2 chromosomal region (Smith et al., 1986) or by mutations in the RAI1 gene (Slager et al., 2003), which is located within the Smith-Magenis chromosomal region. Conversely, Potocki-Lupski syndrome is caused by duplications of the same 17p11.2 chromosomal region (Potocki et al., 2007). Both syndromes share overlapping clinical features, including behavioral problems such as autistic features. RAI1 was included within a 17p11.2 duplication identified in an individual with autism and intellectual disability and showed altered gene expression (Nakamine et al., 2008); it was identified as the single gene in this interval that overlaps with the region affected in Potocki-Lupski syndrome, making it those most likely candidate. A de novo frameshift variant was identified in an ASD proband from the Simons Simplex Collection (Iossifov et al., 2014), while two de novo missense variants (one of which was predicted to be damaging in silico) were identified in ASD probands from the Autism Sequencing Consortium (De Rubeis et al., 2014). A de novo protein-truncating variant in RAI1 was identified in an ASD proband from the Autism Sequencing Consortium in Satterstrom et al., 2020; three protein-truncating variants in this gene were also observed in case samples from the Danish iPSYCH study in this report. Furthermore, 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 RAI1 as a candidate gene with a false discovery rate (FDR) 0.01. A de novo missense variant in the RAI1 gene that was experimentally shown to significantly reduce BDNF-enhancer-driven transcription activity was identified in a male patient diagnosed with ASD and displaying an atypical Smith-Magenis syndrome presentation in Abad et al., 2018. 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 RAI1 as a gene reaching exome-wide significance (P < 2.5E-06).

Molecular Function

Transcriptional regulator of the circadian clock components: CLOCK, BMAL1, BMAL2, PER1/3, CRY1/2, NR1D1/2 and RORA/C. Positively regulates the transcriptional activity of CLOCK a core component of the circadian clock. Regulates transcription through chromatin remodeling by interacting with other proteins in chromatin as well as proteins in the basic transcriptional machinery. May be important for embryonic and postnatal development. May be involved in neuronal differentiation.

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.

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."

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 0.983

Ranking 41/239 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 0.32388577342716

Ranking 199/18665 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 0.40262137298965

Ranking 1432/20870 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.
