-Relevance to Autism
A de novo splice-site variant in the ADSS2 gene (formerly known as ADSS) was identified in an ASD proband from the Autism Sequencing Consortium in De Rubeis et al., 2014, while a de novo missense variant in this gene was identified in a Canadian ASD proband in Tammimies et al., 2015. TADA analysis of 4,504 ASD trios and 3,012 unaffected control/siblings trios from trio-based exome/genome sequencing studies identified ADSS2 as an ASD candidate gene with a q-value < 0.1 (Du et al., 2019).
Molecular Function
This gene encodes the enzyme adenylosuccinate synthetase which catalyzes the first committed step in the conversion of inosine monophosphate to adenosine monophosphate.

criteria met
See SFARI Gene'scoring criteriaWe 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.
