DD/NDD, ADHDRelevance to Autism
Genome-wide investigation of tandem repeats in 17,231 genomes of families with autism from the Autism Speaks MSSNG project and the Simons Simplex Collection in Trost et al., 2020 identified a rare tandem repeat expansion in the CDON gene (chr11:126063945-126066092 (AAGAGGTGGCAGTATT)) in six unrelated ASD probands. This tandem repeat in CDON was observed in more than 0.1% of ASD-affected individuals in this cohort and had a frequency less than 0.1% in unaffected siblings, 1000 Genomes, and 1,612 additional population controls from GTEx and the Mayo Clinic Biobank.
Molecular Function
This gene encodes a cell surface receptor that is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. The encoded protein contains three fibronectin type III domains and five immunoglobulin-like C2-type domains. This protein is a member of a cell-surface receptor complex that mediates cell-cell interactions between muscle precursor cells and positively regulates myogenesis. Heterozygous mutations in this gene are associated with holoprosencephaly (holoprosencephaly-11; OMIM 614226).

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.
