Relevance to Autism

Rare variants in the DIPK2A gene (previously known as the C3orf58 gene) have been identified with autism in the HMCA cohort (Morrow et al., 2008).

Molecular Function

May play a role in cardiomyocyte proliferation through paracrine signaling and activation of the PPI3K-AKT-CDK7 signaling cascade.

Strong Candidate

Rare variants in the DIPK2A gene (formerly known as C3orf58) have been identified in individuals with ASD, but no rigorous comparisons of cases and controls (Aziz et al., 2011; Morrow et al., 2008).

Strong Candidate

See all Category 2 Genes

We 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.
