Relevance to Autism

Mutations in the DEPDC5 gene have been implicated in familial focal epilepsy with variable foci (FFEVF) and autosomal dominant focal epilepsies (Dibbens et al., 2013; Ishida et al., 2013; Scheffer et al., 2014). In one FFEVF family (A1) reported in Dibbens et al., 2013, three affected family members also had ASD, including one individual with ASD who had not had seizures. Scheffer et al., 2014 identified a maternally-inherited nonsense variant in the DEPDC5 gene in a family with 6 affected males presenting with focal epilepsy (family A); one of the affected males in this family also presented with severe intellectual disability and ASD.

Molecular Function

Unknown function; shared homology with G protein signaling molecules and neuronal localization suggest a role in neuronal signal transduction.

Syndromic

Mutations in the DEPDC5 gene have been implicated in familial focal epilepsy with variable foci (FFEVF) and autosomal dominant focal epilepsies (Dibbens et al., 2013; Ishida et al., 2013; Scheffer et al., 2014). In one FFEVF family (A1) reported in Dibbens et al., 2013, three affected family members also had ASD, including one individual with ASD who had not had seizures. Scheffer et al., 2014 identified a maternally-inherited nonsense variant in the DEPDC5 gene in a family with 6 affected males presenting with focal epilepsy (family A); one of the affected males in this family also presented with severe intellectual disability and ASD. A review of clinical and genetic data of 63 novel probands with epilepsy-related variants in the DEPDC5 gene found that ASD or autistic features were observed in 6/56 individuals (Baldassari and Baulac, 2018).

Score Delta: Score remained at S

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."

Krishnan and colleagues generated probability scores genome-wide by using a machine learning approach on a human brain-specific gene network. The method was first presented in Nat Neurosci 19, 1454-1462 (2016), and scores for more than 25,000 RefSeq genes can be accessed in column G of supplementary table 3 (see: http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/v19/n11/extref/nn.4353-S5.xlsx).

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.

Sanders TADA Score

Score 0.94746093957087

Ranking 17285/18665 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).
Larsen Cumulative Evidence Score

Score 5

Ranking 279/461 scored genes


[Show Scoring Methodology]
Larsen and colleagues generated gene scores based on the sum of evidence for all available ASD-associated variants in a gene, with assessments based on mode of inheritance, effect size, and variant frequency in the general population. The approach was first presented in Mol Autism 7:44 (2016), and scores for 461 genes can be found in column I in supplementary table 4 from that paper.
Zhang D Score

Score 0.37723866232075

Ranking 1704/20870 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.
