SFARI Gene score
Strong Candidate


There is a single study showing an association of exonic deletions and duplications involving the TSPOAP1 gene (formerly known as BZRAP1) with ASD (Bucan et al.; PMID: 19557195); no deletions in this gene were observed in 2539 controls (combined P-value 0.0008). A de novo nonsense variant in this gene was observed in an ASD proband from a cohort of 200 Canadian ASD trio families in Yuen et al., 2016.
Score Delta: Score remained at 2
criteria met
See SFARI Gene'scoring criteriaWe 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.
