Relevance to Autism

One of the six patients with Bosch-Boonstra-Schaaf optic atrophy syndrome described in Bosch et al., 2014 presented with autism spectrum disorder with marked obsessive-compulsive behaviors. Evaluation of the clinical features of 20 individuals with novel pathogenic NR2F1 variants demonstrated that, in addition to visual and cognitive deficits, individuals with BBSOAS manifested hypotonia (75%), seizures (40%), repetitive behavior (40%), autism spectrum disorder (35%), oromotor dysfunction (60%), thinning of the corpus callosum (53%), and hearing defects (20%) (Chen et al., 2016). De novo probably damaging missense variants in NR2F1 have also been observed in two ASD probands: one from the Simons Simplex Collection (Sanders et al., 2012), the other from the Autism Sequencing Consortium (De Rubeis et al., 2014).

Molecular Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear hormone receptor and transcriptional regulator that binds to 5'-AGGTCA-3' repeats. Heterozygous mutations in this gene are a cause of Bosch-Boonstra-Schaaf optic atrophy syndrome (BBSOAS; OMIM 615722), an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by delayed development, moderate intellectual disability, and optic atrophy (Bosch et al., 2014).

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.

Syndromic

See all Category S Genes

The syndromic category includes mutations that are associated with a substantial degree of increased risk and consistently linked to additional characteristics not required for an ASD diagnosis. If there is independent evidence implicating a gene in idiopathic ASD, it will be listed as "#S" (e.g., 2S, 3S, etc.). If there is no such independent evidence, the gene will be listed simply as "S."

One of the six patients with Bosch-Boonstra-Schaaf optic atrophy syndrome described in Bosch et al., 2014 presented with autism spectrum disorder with marked obsessive-compulsive behaviors. Evaluation of the clinical features of 20 individuals with novel pathogenic NR2F1 variants demonstrated that, in addition to visual and cognitive deficits, individuals with BBSOAS manifested hypotonia (75%), seizures (40%), repetitive behavior (40%), autism spectrum disorder (35%), oromotor dysfunction (60%), thinning of the corpus callosum (53%), and hearing defects (20%) (Chen et al., 2016). De novo probably damaging missense variants in NR2F1 have also been observed in two ASD probands: one from the Simons Simplex Collection (Sanders et al., 2012), the other from the Autism Sequencing Consortium (De Rubeis et al., 2014).

Krishnan Probability Score

Score 0.56619311657082

Ranking 1220/25841 scored genes


[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 asd.princeton.edu.

Sanders TADA Score

Score 0.40393677506562

Ranking 284/18665 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).

Zhang D Score

Score 0.2346314388017

Ranking 3695/20870 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.
