-Relevance to Autism
A de novo missense variant with a CADD score > 30 was identified in the ADCY1 gene in a Korean ASD proband in Kim et al., 2024; this gene was subsequently classified as an ASD candidate gene in males following a combined TADA analysis consisting of the Korean ASD cohort described in Kim et al., 2024 in addition to the Simons Simplex Collection and the SPARK cohort. A de novo loss-of-function variant and a de novo missense variant in ADCY1 had previously been reported in two SPARK probands (Zhou et al., 2022; Trost et al., 2022).
Molecular Function
This gene encodes a member of the of adenylate cyclase gene family that is primarily expressed in the brain. This protein is regulated by calcium/calmodulin concentration and may be involved in brain development.

Suggestive Evidence


Score Delta: Score remained at 3
criteria met
See SFARI Gene'scoring criteriaThe literature is replete with relatively small studies of candidate genes, using either common or rare variant approaches, which do not reach the criteria set out for categories 1 and 2. Genes that had two such lines of supporting evidence were placed in category 3, and those with one line of evidence were placed in category 4. Some additional lines of "accessory evidence" (indicated as "acc" in the score cards) could also boost a gene from category 4 to 3.
