Relevance to Autism

Recurrent mutations in the GRIN2B gene have been identified in multiple individuals with ASD as described below. Myers et al. (2011) found an excess of rare non-synonymous mutations in GRIN2B in both autism and schizophrenia cases (PMID 21383861). O'Roak et al., 2011 identified an ASD proband from a simplex family with a de novo splice-site variant in GRIN2B; three additional de novo loss-of-function variants in GRIN2B were identified in ASD probands from simplex families in two subsequent reports from O'Roak and colleagues in 2012 (PMIDs 22495309 and 23160955). Analysis of rare coding variation in 3,871 ASD cases and 9,937 ancestry-matched or paternal controls from the Autism Sequencing Consortium (ASC) in De Rubeis et al., 2014 identified GRIN2B as a gene meeting high statistical significance with a FDR 0.01, meaning that this gene had a 99% chance of being a true autism gene (PMID 25363760). This gene was identified in Iossifov et al. 2015 as a strong candidate to be an ASD risk gene based on a combination of de novo mutational evidence and the absence or very low frequency of mutations in controls (PMID 26401017). A two-stage analysis of rare de novo and inherited coding variants in 42,607 ASD cases, including 35,130 new cases from the SPARK cohort, in Zhou et al., 2022 identified GRIN2B as a gene reaching exome-wide significance (P < 2.5E-06). Platzer et al., 2017 evaluated 48 novel and 43 previously published individuals with de novo GRIN2B variants; 13 of the 48 novel individuals in this report were reported to have ASD as a phenotype (PMID 28377535). Yoo et al. (2012) showed association of GRIN2B markers in a Korean ASD cohort of 151 families (PMID 22326929); other studies have also found genetic association of the GRIN2B gene with schizophrenia (Ohtsuki et al., 2001) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (Arnold et al., 2004).

Molecular Function

Description

Multiple studies have identified rare mutations in the GRIN2B gene with individuals with autism. Myers et al. (2011) found an excess of rare non-synonymous mutations in GRIN2B in both autism and schizophrenia cases (PMID 21383861). O'Roak et al., 2011 identified an ASD proband from a simplex family with a de novo splice-site variant in GRIN2B; three additional de novo loss-of-function variants in GRIN2B were identified in ASD probands from simplex families in two subsequent reports from O'Roak and colleagues in 2012 (PMIDs 22495309 and 23160955). Analysis of rare coding variation in 3,871 ASD cases and 9,937 ancestry-matched or paternal controls from the Autism Sequencing Consortium (ASC) in De Rubeis et al., 2014 identified GRIN2B as a gene meeting high statistical significance with a FDR 0.01, meaning that this gene had a 99% chance of being a true autism gene (PMID 25363760). This gene was identified in Iossifov et al. 2015 as a strong candidate to be an ASD risk gene based on a combination of de novo mutational evidence and the absence or very low frequency of mutations in controls (PMID 26401017). Platzer et al., 2017 evaluated 48 novel and 43 previously published individuals with de novo GRIN2B variants; 13 of the 48 novel individuals in this report were reported to have ASD as a phenotype (PMID 28377535). Yoo et al. (2012) showed association of GRIN2B markers in a Korean ASD cohort of 151 families (PMID 22326929); other studies have also found genetic association of the GRIN2B gene with schizophrenia (Ohtsuki et al., 2001) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (Arnold et al., 2004).

Platzer et al., 2017 evaluated 48 novel and 43 previously published individuals with de novo GRIN2B variants; 13 of the 48 novel individuals in this report were reported to have ASD as a phenotype (PMID 28377535). Yoo et al. (2012) showed association of GRIN2B markers in a Korean ASD cohort of 151 families (PMID 22326929); other studies have also found genetic association of the GRIN2B gene with schizophrenia (Ohtsuki et al., 2001) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (Arnold et al., 2004).

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).

[Show Scoring Methodology]
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. For a full list of pLI scores see: ftp://ftp.broadinstitute.org/pub/ExAC_release/release0.3.1/functional_gene_constraint/fordist_cle aned_exac_nonTCGA_z_pli_rec_null_data.txt

Ranking 8/239 scored genes


[Show Scoring Methodology]
Supplementary dataset S2 in the paper by Iossifov et al. (PNAS 112, E5600-E5607 (2015)) lists 239 genes with a probability of at least 0.8 of being associated with autism risk (column I). This probability metric combines the evidence from de novo likely-gene- disrupting and missense mutations and assesses it against the background mutation rate in unaffected individuals from the University of Washington’s Exome Variant Sequence database (evs.gs.washington.edu/EVS/). The list of probability scores can be found here: www.pnas.org/lookup/suppl/doi:10.1073/pnas.1516376112/- /DCSupplemental/pnas.1516376112.sd02.xlsx
Sanders TADA Score

Score 0.00020278814528964

Ranking 15/18665 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 72

Ranking 18/461 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 0.40050735967668

Ranking 1458/20870 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.
