Relevance to Autism

Rare inherited loss-of-function variants in the ZNF626 gene were observed in ASD probands from the Simons Simplex Collection in Krumm et al., 2015. Transmission and De Novo Association (TADA) analysis of a combined cohort consisting of 536 Chinese ASD probands and 1457 Chinese controls, as well as ASD probands and controls from the Simons Simplex Collection and the Autism Sequencing Consortium, in Guo et al., 2017 identified ZNF626 as an ASD candidate gene with a PTADA of 0.000352.

Strong Candidate

Rare inherited loss-of-function variants in the ZNF626 gene were observed in ASD probands from the Simons Simplex Collection in Krumm et al., 2015. Transmission and De Novo Association (TADA) analysis of a combined cohort consisting of 536 Chinese ASD probands and 1457 Chinese controls, as well as ASD probands and controls from the Simons Simplex Collection and the Autism Sequencing Consortium, in Guo et al., 2017 identified ZNF626 as an ASD candidate gene with a PTADA of 0.000352.

Strong Candidate

See all Category 2 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.

Krishnan Probability Score

Score 0.4871406011609

Ranking 7047/25841 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 2.3449662444854E-7

Ranking 15468/18225 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 0.93122022775984

Ranking 11640/18665 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).
