-Relevance to Autism
A noncoding RNA that is 94% identical and antisense to the MSN transcript is transcribed from a region of chromosome 5p14.1 that contains a genome-wide significant association with ASD with the SNP rs4307059. Individuals who carry the ASD-associated rs4307059 T allele showed increased expression of MSNP1AS. The noncoding RNA bound to MSN, was highly overexpressed (12.7-fold) in postmortem cerebral cortex of ASD cases, and could regulate levels of moesin protein in human cell lines (Kerin et al., 2012).
Molecular Function
A noncoding RNA encoded by the opposite (antisense) strand ofmoesinpseudogene 1 (MSNP1). Chromosome 5p14.1 MSNP1AS is 94% identical and antisense to the X chromosome transcript of MSN, which encodes a protein (moesin) that regulates neuronal architecture.

Strong Candidate
PMID 19404256 showed genome-wide significant association of rs4307059 and five other chromosome 5p14.1 markers with ASD diagnosis. The association was not replicated in other GWAS (PMID 19812673, 20663923, and 22843504). PMID 22739633 provided support for association of rs4307059 with ASD diagnosis and PMID 20634369 provided evidence for association of rs4307059 with social communication phenotypes in the general population. PMID 22491950 identified MSNP1AS, a non-coding RNA encoded by the opposite (antisense) strand of moesin pseudogene 1 (MSNP1) that appears capable of regulating MSN protein expression. This report further showed that the ASD-associated rs4307059 genotype is correlated with MSNP1AS expression in postmortem cortex, and described a 12-fold increase in expression in postmortem brains of individuals with ASD compared to controls. Association analysis of 160 nuclear Belgian Flemish families with at least one subject with ASD identified two intergenic SNPs in the 5p14.1 region that showed suggestive association (P < 1.0E-05) with the binary ASD phenotype (Vojinovic et al., 2017). Overexpression of MSNP1AS in human neural progenitor cell lines resulted in decreased neurite number and neurite length (DeWitt et al., 2016).
