Relevance to Autism

Novel de novo variants in the AHDC1 gene (one frameshift, one missense variant predicted to be benign) were identified in ASD probands from the Simons Simplex Collection in Iossifov et al., 2014. Exome sequencing of 2157 cases with intellectual disability or developmental delay in Yang et al., 2016 identified seven proband-patient trios with de novo AHDC1 variants; probands typically presented with developmental delay, intellectual disability, absent or limited speech, hypotonia, dysmorphic features, brain abnormalities, failure to thrive/feeding difficulties, and ataxia/gait abnormalities, and two of the seven probands were additionally diagnosed with autism based on DSM-IV or DSM-V criteria.

Molecular Function

This gene encodes a protein containing two AT-hooks, which likely function in DNA binding. Mutations in this gene were found in individuals with Xia-Gibbs syndrome (OMIM 615829), a syndrome characterized by intellectual disability, expressive language delay, hypotonia, and obstructive sleep apnea (Xia et al., 2014).

Suggestive Evidence

See all Category 3 Genes

The 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.

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

Mutations in the AHDC1 gene were found in four individuals presenting with a syndrome characterized by intellectual disability, expressive language delay, hypotonia, and obstructive sleep apnea, which was subsequently classified as Xia-Gibbs syndrome (OMIM 615829), (Xia et al., 2014). One of the original subjects from the Xia et al., 2014 study (subject 4) is described as having "noncommunicating autism" as a clinical feature in Table 1. Novel de novo variants in the AHDC1 gene (one frameshift, one missense variant predicted to be benign) were identified in ASD probands from the Simons Simplex Collection in Iossifov et al., 2014. Exome sequencing of 2157 cases with intellectual disability or developmental delay in Yang et al., 2016 identified seven proband-patient trios with de novo AHDC1 variants; probands typically presented with developmental delay, intellectual disability, absent or limited speech, hypotonia, dysmorphic features, brain abnormalities, failure to thrive/feeding difficulties, and ataxia/gait abnormalities, and two of the seven probands were additionally diagnosed with autism based on DSM-IV or DSM-V criteria.

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.

[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).

[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.
