-Relevance to Autism
An intronic polymorphism in the MAPT-AS1 gene (rs112436750) was the index SNP for a loci that reached genome-wide significance with ASD (odds ratio 1.09 (95% CI 1.061.12), P-value 2.62E-08) in a meta-analysis of European case-pseudocontrol pairs from the SPARK cohort and the iPSYCH-PGC GWAS (Matoba et al., 2020).
Molecular Function
MAPT-AS1 encodes for a non-coding RNA that shows biased expression in brain, testis, adrenal tissue, and kidney.

criteria met
See SFARI Gene'scoring criteriaWe 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.

[Show Scoring Methodology]
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). A searchable browser,
with the ability to view networks of associated ASD risk genes, can be found at
