Abstract

:
Recently, autism-related research has focused on the identification of various genes and disturbed pathways causing the genetically heterogeneous group of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The list of autism-related genes has significantly increased due to better awareness with advances in genetic technology and expanding searchable genomic databases. We compiled a master list of known and clinically relevant autism spectrum disorder genes identified with supporting evidence from peer-reviewed medical literature sources by searching key words related to autism and genetics and from authoritative autism-related public access websites, such as the Simons Foundation Autism Research Institute autism genomic database dedicated to gene discovery and characterization. Our list consists of 792 genes arranged in alphabetical order in tabular form with gene symbols placed on high-resolution human chromosome ideograms, thereby enabling clinical and laboratory geneticists and genetic counsellors to access convenient visual images of the location and distribution of ASD genes. Meaningful correlations of the observed phenotype in patients with suspected/confirmed ASD gene(s) at the chromosome region or breakpoint band site can be made to inform diagnosis and gene-based personalized care and provide genetic counselling for families.

Graphical Abstract

1. Introduction

Classical autism or autistic disorder is common, with developmental difficulties noted by three years of age. It belongs to a group of heterogeneous conditions known as autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) with significant impairments in verbal and non-verbal communication and social interactions with restricted repetitive behaviors, specifically in movements and interests [1,2,3]. Other symptoms include lack of eye contact or focus, sleep disturbances and tactile defensiveness beginning at an early age. Several validated rating scales are used at a young age to help establish the diagnosis, including the autism diagnostic observation schedule (ADOS) and the autism diagnostic interview-revised (ADI-R) supported by pertinent medical history and clinical findings [4,5,6]. ASD affects about 1% of children in the general U.S. population with a 4:1 male to female ratio, usually without congenital anomalies or growth retardation [7,8].
Autism was first used as a term by Kanner in 1943 when describing a group of children lacking the ability to establish interpersonal contact and communication [9]. About one-fourth of children with autism are diagnosed by 2–3 years of age and show regression of skills in about 30% of cases. About 60% of ASD subjects show intellectual disabilities at a young age [10,11]. When comparing the prevalence of health disorders involving the central nervous system, autism ranks higher than epilepsy (6.5 cases per 1000), brain paralysis or dementia (2.5 cases/1000 for each) and Parkinson disease (two cases per 1000); genetic factors are related to many of these disorders [12,13]. Autism also occurs more commonly than congenital malformations in the general population, but dysmorphic findings are present in about 25% of children with autism. Microcephaly is seen in about 10% of cases, but macrocephaly is documented with larger frontal and smaller occipital lobes in about 20% of children with autism. Those with autism and extreme macrocephaly are at a greater risk to have PTEN tumor suppressor gene mutations [14], while another autism-related gene (CHD8) can also lead to macrocephaly and autism [15].
Autism is due to a wide range of genetic abnormalities, as well as non-genetic causes, including the environment, environmental and gene interaction (epigenetics) and metabolic disturbances (e.g., mitochondrial dysfunction), with the recurrence risk dependent on the family history and presence or absence of dysmorphic features. Candidate genes for ASD are identified by different means, including cytogenetic abnormalities (i.e., translocations at chromosome breakpoints or deletions (e.g., the 22q11.2 deletion) indicating the location or loss of specific genes) in individuals with ASD along with overlapping linkage and functional data related to the clinical presentation, with certain chromosome regions identified by genetic linkage using DNA markers that co-inherit with the specific phenotype [16,17]. A representative example for such an occurrence is the proto-oncogene (MET) involved in pathways related to neuronal development [18] and found to be linked to the chromosome 7q31 band, where this gene is located. Decreased activity of the gene promoter was recognized when specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were present in this region by linkage studies. However, genetic linkage studies have received only limited success in the study of the genetics of autism. On the other hand, chromosomal microarray analysis using DNA probes disturbed across the genome can be used to detect chromosomal abnormalities at >100-times smaller than seen in high-resolution chromosome studies. Microarray studies have also become the first tier of genetic testing for this patient population and are recommended for all ASD patients [19]. Greater than 20% of studied patients with microarray analysis are found to have submicroscopic deletions or duplications in the genome containing genes that play a role in causing autism [20,21]. Identification of causative mutations is important to guide treatment selection and to manage medical co-morbidities, such as risks for seizures, developmental regression or for cancer (e.g., the PTEN gene).
Routine cytogenetic studies have shown abnormalities of chromosomes 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 19, 22 and X, including deletions, duplications, translocations and inversions involving specific chromosome regions where known or candidate genes for ASD are located [22]. These studies further support the role of genetic factors in the causation of this common neurodevelopment disorder. Specifically, cytogenetic abnormalities involving the 15q11–q13 region are found in at least 1% of individuals with ASD and include CYFIP1, GABRB3 and UBE3A genes in this chromosome region [23] and most recently the 15q11.2 BP1-BP2 microdeletion (Burnside-Butler) syndrome [24]. DNA copy number changes have also shown recurrent small deletions or duplications of the chromosome 16p11.2 band using microarray analysis [25,26] and the chromosome 15q13.2–q13.3 region [27], whereas copy number changes are noted throughout the genome in individuals with ASD, indicating the presence of multiple candidate genes on every human chromosome. These copy number changes are more often of the deletion type.
For idiopathic or non-syndromic autism, the empirical risk for siblings to be similarly affected is between 2% and 8% with an average of 4% [28]. In multiplex families having two or more affected children with autism, the recurrence risk may be as high as 25%, but generally ranges from 13% [29] to 19% [30] if due to single-gene disturbances as the cause, a major focus of this illustrative review. Advances in genetic technology beyond linkage or cytogenetic analysis of affected families with ASD or other complex disorders have led to genome-wide association studies (GWAS) involving hundreds of affected and control individuals by analyzing the distribution and clustering of hundreds and thousands of SNPs that have successfully been searched for candidate genes. The first GWAS for ASD was undertaken by Lauritsen et al. in 2006 [31] using 600 DNA markers in an isolated population of affected individuals from the Faroe Islands. They found an association of the chromosome 3p25.3 band, and later, other investigators studied more subjects with larger collections of genotyped markers and found several chromosome bands and regions ascertained when specific SNPs were over-represented in the ASD subjects, including 5p14.1, 5p15 and 16p13–p21 [32,33,34,35,36,37]. The studies implicated several gene families, including the cadherin family, encoding proteins for neuronal cell adhesion, while other genes (e.g., SEMA5A) were implicated in axonal guidance with lower gene expression levels in brain specimens from individuals with ASD [33], reviewed by Holt and Monaco [17]. Since that time, several additional studies searching for clinically relevant and known genes for ASD have identified a new collection of ASD genes [38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53].
The ability to identify an increased number of SNPs with advanced genetic platforms and extensive approaches using bioinformatics have led to improved access and a more thorough analysis. This has led to comparing genotyping data from GWAS and DNA copy number variants (CNVs) with the identification of structural genetic defects, such as submicroscopic deletions or duplications of the genome, which was not possible a few years ago. Separate studies using array comparative genomic hybridization or microarray analysis to investigate those individuals with ASD continue to yield useful data in identifying candidate genes for ASD in affected individuals [20,21,54]. The yield for microarray analysis is reported to be approximately 20% for identifying deletions or duplications at sites where known or candidate ASD genes are present. The use of more advanced technology, such as next-generation sequencing (whole genome or exome) will yield additional valuable information on the location and description of lesions of genes contributing to ASD with increasing evidence for specific and recurring mutations of single genes involved with neurodevelopment and function, leading to potential therapeutic discoveries and interventions.
Autism is frequent in single-gene conditions, such as fragile X syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, Rett syndrome or neurofibromatosis, but single-gene disorders as a whole account for less than 20% of all cases; therefore, most individuals with ASD are non-syndromic. The heritability of ASD, which takes into consideration the extent of genetic factors contributing to autism, is estimated to be as high as 90% [55]; hence the relevance and continued importance of investigating the role of genetics in the causation of ASD and expanded diagnostic testing to inform and guide treatment for individuals with identifiable genetic disturbances.
A current list of clinically relevant and known candidate genes for ASD is needed for diagnostic testing and genetic counselling purposes in the clinical setting. Historically, a previous list of known or candidate genes showing an association with ASD was reported in 2011 by Holt and Monaco [17] with the placement of 175 genes on chromosome ideograms. A much greater number of validated genes are now recognized as playing a pivotal role in ASD, warranting an updated, revised summary. We will utilize high-resolution chromosome ideograms (850 band level) to plot the location of genes now recognized by searching the literature and website information as playing a documented role in ASD. In tabular form, we will list the individual gene symbol, expanded name or description and chromosome location.

2. Results and Discussion

The diagnostic approach for an individual with ASD should include a clinical genetics evaluation with interviews of parents and health caregivers for the collection and overview of historical problems, a three-generation family pedigree, recording of developmental milestones and description of atypical behaviors along with medical and surgical procedures and a current list of medications and ongoing treatments. Laboratory tests should include lead, thyroid function, lactate and pyruvate levels in order to assess metabolic and mitochondrial functions that may be impacted by an underlying genetic disturbance along with cholesterol and urine collection for organic acid levels. Brain imaging and electroencephalogram patterns should be reviewed, if available. In addition, the ADI-R and ADOS instruments are used to test the diagnosis of ASD.
To further increase the diagnostic yield in individuals with ASD presenting for genetic service, Schaefer et al. [19] proposed and utilized a three-tier approach to include a genetic work-up by a clinical geneticist with expertise in dysmorphology to identify known syndromes with or without dysmorphic features (e.g., birth marks), growth anomalies (e.g., microcephaly, macrocephaly and short stature), viral titers (e.g., rubella) and metabolic screening (urine for organic acids and mucopolysaccharides, plasma lactate and amino acid levels). DNA testing for fragile X syndrome and Rett syndrome in females and males is also available, along with chromosomal and DNA microarrays to examine structural DNA lesions in those with a sporadic form of autism and the use of SNP arrays to examine for regions of homozygosity or uniparental disomy, whereby both members of a chromosome pair come from one parent [56]. Exome sequencing is now available particularly to those affected subjects with a positive family history of autism (multiplex families), if other diagnostic tests are uninformative. PTEN gene mutation screening would be indicated in those patients with extreme macrocephaly (head size > 2 SD) [14], if not previously done, and a review of brain MRI results. Serum and urine uric acid levels and assays for adenylate succinase deficiency should be done to include biochemical genetic studies and mitochondrial genome screening and function [57] if the above testing protocols are not diagnostic. Up to one in five children with ASD show findings of mitochondrial dysfunction [57], and a detailed genetic work-up will significantly increase the yield for the diagnosis of ASD, leading to a better understanding of causation, treatment and more accurate genetic counselling for those presenting for genetic services [20,21,54].
Advances made in genetic technology and bioinformatics have led to vastly improved genetic testing options for application in the clinical setting in patients presenting for genetic services [54]. Significant discoveries have been made with the recognition of genetic defects in the causation of ASD using microarray technology and, now, next generation sequencing. This technology has flourished with a combination of DNA probes used for both copy number variation and SNPs being required to identify segmental deletions and duplications in the genome and regions of homozygosity for the determination of identical by descent for the calculation of inbreeding coefficients or consanguinity status along with uniparental disomy of individual chromosomes [56].
Next generation exome DNA sequencing and RNA sequencing allows for discoveries of disease-causing genes and regulatory sequences required for normal function. Identifying and characterizing molecular signatures for novel or disturbed gene or exon expression and disease-specific profiles and patterns with expression heat maps have led to the recognition of interconnected disturbed gene pathways in many diseases, including a growing body of genetic evidence for autism and other psychiatric or aberrant behavioral disorders [54].

3. Experimental Section

We used computer-based internet websites and PubMed (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed) to search key words for genetics and autism. This included the integrated catalogue of human genetic studies related to autism found at the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) website (https://gene.sfari.org), which currently lists 667 genes reported as of 25 February 2015. This public access initiative is an ongoing curated collection of clinically proven ASD genes supported by clinical and autism experts, medical geneticists and laboratory specialists in the study of autism. This site includes gene description and evidence of support for causation with cited literature reports. We examined peer-reviewed articles found in the medical literature following our search for genetic evidence (i.e., gene variants, mutations or disturbed gene function) and the involvement of genetics playing a role in autism. Sources included whole-genome sequencing of ASD families randomly selected with at least one unaffected sibling [40] or gene expression profiles in ASD [39] along with other informative websites (e.g., Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, www.OMIM.org). We then compiled the list of genes from these major sources for a total of 792 genes, whereby at least one mechanism was involved for each gene that could lead to ASD, a heterogeneous condition involving many genes; as our report is focused on the compilation of ASD genes from peer-reviewed research articles and authoritative computer website genomic databases for autism and not necessarily related to causal relationships between the individual gene and ASD. Those genes recognized, to date, as playing a role in ASD susceptibility and causation generally appear to impact chromatin remodeling, metabolism, mRNA translation, cell adhesion and synaptic function [39].
SFARI is a publicly available manually curated web-based searchable site of human genes with links to ASD and includes genes in catalogue form based on five categories—genetic association, syndromic, rare single-gene variant and functional and multi-genetic copy number variation—supported by cited research publications for each. Additional literature sources in our study consisted of both primary research articles and reviews summarizing genetic evidence. Many of the listed genes were identified in multiple research studies and widely reported in literature reviews, data repositories and/or computer genomic-based websites for autism (e.g., SFARI). A large number of genes showed a varied relationship to autism and neurodevelopment, but the mass of the literature surveyed limits the reliability of our relative strength estimates for the ASD and gene associations. The gene would be included if cited and recognized in peer-reviewed publications (e.g., PubMed) with supportive genetic evidence (e.g., genetic linkage, GWAS, functional gene expression patterns, informative SNPs, CNVs or identified gene mutations). Other supporting genetic evidence can be found at Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) at https://sfari.org/sfari-initiatives/simons-simplex-collection, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gap, the Online Inheritance in Man (OMIM) at www.omim.org or Genecards at https://www.genecards.org.

4. Conclusions

Readily available tissue sources, such as peripheral blood, established lymphoblastoid cell lines and saliva, hold promise for more advances in ASD by enabling the identification of new genes and a better understanding of the causation and disease mechanisms to further stimulate research with the hope to discover new treatment modalities impacted by the recognition of known disease-causing or candidate genes for ASD. We illustrated the master list of clinically relevant and known ASD genes in our summary by plotting individual genes on high-resolution chromosome ideograms and generated a tabular form to increase the awareness required for genetic testing and counselling purposes for family members presenting for genetic services. Creating a master list of genes related to ASD is a complicated process; new genes are continually identified, but not all genes are equally important or certain to be causative. Additional research is needed to further investigate the causal relationships between the specific gene and ASD. The authors encourage the use of this collection of known and clinically relevant candidate genes for ASD in their evaluation of patients and families presenting for genetic testing options and for accurate genetic counselling.
