-Relevance to Autism
Linkage analysis and follow-up exome sequencing in seven large families with ASD identified a missense variant in the SAMD11 gene (rs200195897) that was transmitted to four affected individuals in one family (Chapman et al., 2015). Subsequent analysis of whole-genome sequencing data from individuals with ASD and family members in the MSSNG database replicated transmission of rs200195897 to four affected individuals in three additional families; this variant was also present in three singleton affected individuals and no unaffected individuals other than transmitting parents (Chapman et al., 2018).
Molecular Function
May play a role in photoreceptor development.
