Diagnostic exome sequencing in 100 patients with severe intellectual disability (ID) and their parents in de Ligt et al., 2012 identified a maternally-inherited missense variant in the TRPC5 gene in a male ID proband who was also diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Tourette syndrome. Analysis of 54 male patients presenting with intellectual disability (ID) and a family history suggesting X-linked inheritance or maternal skewed X-chromosome inactivation using an X-chromosome-specific microarray in Mignon-Ravix et al., 2014 identified a deletion of the first exon of the TRPC5 gene in a child presenting with ID and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Leitao et al., 2022 presented four previously unreported individuals with TRPC5 variants: three brothers with ASD and intellectual disability with a maternally-inherited missense variant that was experimentally confirmed to result in a constitutively active current; and a male patient with high-functioning ASD with a maternally-inherited nonsense variant. De novo coding variants in TRPC5 have also been identified in an ASD proband from the Simons Simplex Collection (Iossifov et al., 2014), in patients with DD/ID (Deciphering Developmental Disorders Study 2015; Lelieveld et al., 2016), and in a proband with congenital heart disease (Homsy et al., 2015).
Molecular Function
This gene belongs to the transient receptor family. It encodes one of the seven mammalian TRPC (transient receptor potential channel) proteins. The encoded protein is a multi-pass membrane protein and is thought to form a receptor-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel. The protein is active alone or as a heteromultimeric assembly with TRPC1, TRPC3, and TRPC4. It also interacts with multiple proteins including calmodulin, CABP1, enkurin, Na(+)-H+ exchange regulatory factor (NHERF ), interferon-induced GTP-binding protein (MX1), ring finger protein 24 (RNF24), and SEC14 domain and spectrin repeat-containing protein 1 (SESTD1).

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.
