Relevance to Autism

Rare mutation in the IMMP2L gene has been identified with Tourette syndrome (possible syndromic overlap with autism) (Petek et al., 2001). However, a separate study found no coding mutations in IMMP2L in either Tourette syndrome or ASD patients screened (Petek et al., 2007).

Molecular Function

The encoded protein has serine-like peptidase activity.

Strong Candidate

The IMMP2L gene is located within an ASD-associated linkage region on chromosome 7. While sequencing of the IMMP2L gene in 95 multiplex ASD families in Petek et al., 2007 failed to identify any deleterious mutations, deletions affecting the IMMP2L gene have been identified in ASD probands (Maestrini et al., 2010; van Daalen et al., 2011; Prasad et al., 2012). Genotyping of 100 Han Chinese ASD trio families in Zhang et al., 2017 identified three male ASD probands with intragenic IMMP2L deletions; however, meta-analysis in this report using 5,568 cases and 10,279 controls failed to demonstrate statistically significant enrichment of IMMP2L deletions in ASD cases. Common intronic variants in IMMP2L have also been demonstrated to associate with ASD in a case-control analysis (Maestrini et al., 2010). Furthermore, several reports have linked disruption of the IMMP2L gene, either by chromosomal rearrangement or copy number variation, with Tourette syndrome (Petek et al., 2001; Bertelsen et al., 2014) and ADHD (Elia et al., 2010). Moreover, Bertelsen et al., 2014 demonstrated that the frequency of intragenic IMMP2L deletions in Danish Tourette syndrome cases was significantly higher than in Danish controls (3.7% in cases vs. 0.9% in controls; P < 0.05).

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).

ExAC Score

Ranking 8774/18225 scored genes


[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

[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 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.

Ranking 10186/20870 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.
