Relevance to Autism

A 67 kb monogenic deletion affecting exons 1-4 of the STXBP1 gene was identified in a female patient with ASD, severe ID, and neonatal seizures (Campbell et al., 2012).

Molecular Function

This gene encodes a syntaxin-binding protein. The encoded protein appears to play a role in release of neurotransmitters via regulation of syntaxin, a transmembrane attachment protein receptor. Mutations in this gene have been associated with infantile epileptic encephalopathy-4.

SFARI Gene score
1S

High Confidence, Syndromic

Heterozygous variants in the STXBP1 gene are responsible for a form of early-onset epileptic encephalopathy (EIEE4; OMIM 612164) highlighted by epilepsy and often severe intellectual disability (Saitsu et al., 2008; Deprez et al., 2010). ASD has been observed in individuals with STXBP1 variants both in the presence and absence of epilepsy and/or intellectual disability (Campbell et al., 2012; Neale et al., 2012; Deciphering Developmental Disorders Study, 2015; Yuen et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2016). A systemic review of 147 patients with STXBP1 encephalopathy, including 45 previously unreported patients, demonstrated that autism or autistic features were observed in approximately 20% of published cases, although the actual number of cases with autism/autistic features may be greater due to the focus of most studies on the intellectual disability/epilepsy phenotype (Stamberger et al., 2016). Variants in STXBP1 have also been identified in patients presenting with atypical Rett syndrome, with affected individuals frequently exhibiting autistic features and stereotyped movements (Romaniello et al., 2015; Olson et al., 2015).

1

High Confidence

See all Category 1 Genes

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.

S

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."

Description

Heterozygous variants in the STXBP1 gene are responsible for a form of early-onset epileptic encephalopathy (EIEE4; OMIM 612164) highlighted by epilepsy and often severe intellectual disability (Saitsu et al., 2008; Deprez et al., 2010). ASD has been observed in individuals with STXBP1 variants both in the presence and absence of epilepsy and/or intellectual disability (Campbell et al., 2012; Neale et al., 2012; Deciphering Developmental Disorders Study, 2015; Yuen et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2016). A systemic review of 147 patients with STXBP1 encephalopathy, including 45 previously unreported patients, demonstrated that autism or autistic features were observed in approximately 20% of published cases, although the actual number of cases with autism/autistic features may be greater due to the focus of most studies on the intellectual disability/epilepsy phenotype (Stamberger et al., 2016). Variants in STXBP1 have also been identified in patients presenting with atypical Rett syndrome, with affected individuals frequently exhibiting autistic features and stereotyped movements (Romaniello et al., 2015; Olson et al., 2015).

Krishnan Probability Score

Score 0.5751140747065

Ranking 659/25841 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.

ExAC Score

Score 0.99988294322709

Ranking 702/18225 scored genes


[Show Scoring Methodology]
The Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) is a summary database of 60,706 exomes that has been widely used to estimate 'constraint' on mutation for individual genes. It was introduced by Lek et al. Nature 536, 285-291 (2016), and the ExAC browser can be found at exac.broadinstitute.org. The pLI score was developed as measure of intolerance to loss-of- function mutation. A pLI > 0.9 is generally viewed as highly constrained, and thus any loss-of- function mutations in autism in such a gene would be more likely to confer risk. For a full list of pLI scores see: ftp://ftp.broadinstitute.org/pub/ExAC_release/release0.3.1/functional_gene_constraint/fordist_cle aned_exac_nonTCGA_z_pli_rec_null_data.txt

Sanders TADA Score

Score 0.75457231068876

Ranking 1601/18665 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).

Larsen Cumulative Evidence Score

Score 5

Ranking 293/461 scored genes


[Show Scoring Methodology]
Larsen and colleagues generated gene scores based on the sum of evidence for all available ASD-associated variants in a gene, with assessments based on mode of inheritance, effect size, and variant frequency in the general population. The approach was first presented in Mol Autism 7:44 (2016), and scores for 461 genes can be found in column I in supplementary table 4 from that paper.

Zhang D Score

Score 0.20850596125832

Ranking 4140/20870 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.
