-Relevance to Autism
Li et al., 2023 reported six unrelated individuals with de novo heterozygous PRPF19 variants, four of whom had a formal diagnosis of autism; subsequent functional analysis of two PRPF19 missense variants identified in individuals with autism (p.Gly404Ser and p.Leu499Phe) in Drosophila rescue assays demonstrated that both variants led to social behavior deficits in flies. Additional de novo coding variants in this gene, including two de novo missense variants, had previously been identiifed in ASD probands (Lim et al., 2017; Zhou et al., 2022).
Molecular Function
Enables identical protein binding activity and ubiquitin-ubiquitin ligase activity. Involved in several processes, including DNA damage checkpoint signaling; cellular protein metabolic process; and mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Acts upstream of or within protein polyubiquitination. Located in cytoplasm; nuclear speck; and site of double-strand break. Part of Prp19 complex and U2-type catalytic step 2 spliceosome. Colocalizes with DNA replication factor A complex.

Suggestive Evidence


Score Delta: Score remained at 3
criteria met
See SFARI Gene'scoring criteriaThe literature is replete with relatively small studies of candidate genes, using either common or rare variant approaches, which do not reach the criteria set out for categories 1 and 2. Genes that had two such lines of supporting evidence were placed in category 3, and those with one line of evidence were placed in category 4. Some additional lines of "accessory evidence" (indicated as "acc" in the score cards) could also boost a gene from category 4 to 3.
