16p11.2 CNV; kctd13 | ASD, ID | Splice block and translation MO, RNA overexpression | Overexpression of kctd13: microcephaly caused by decreased proliferation and increased apoptosis; kockdown of kctd13: macrocephaly caused by increased proliferation; knockdown several genes in 16p11.2 region results in neural tube and axon morphogenesis defects | [155,156] |
auts2 (autism susceptibility candidate 2) | ASD, ADHD, DD, epilepsy | Translation and splice block MO | Smaller body size; severe decrease in the number of neurons in the brain, retina, and spinal cord. Touch evoked response assay showed decreased response from MO-injected larvae | [145] |
chd8 (chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 8) | ASD, DD | Splice block MO | Increased head size, with increased number of midbrain and forebrain progenitors | [149,150] |
cntnap2 (contactin associated protein-like 2) | ASD | Zinc fingers | Decrease in GABAergic cells in the pallium and cerebellum, increased seizures when exposed to PTZ; increased nighttime activity | [153] |
ctnnd2 (delta catenin) | ASD, ID | Splice block MO | Gastrulation defects; co-injection with wt or mutant ctnnd2 fully (wt) or partially (mutant) rescues phenotype; abnormal neuronal patterning, with ectopic Isl1-positive cells in the optic recess region | [157,158] |
c8orf37 (chromosome 8 open reading frame 37) | Bardet Biedl syndrome, ASD | Translation and splice block MO | Abnormal response to visual motor response test; co-injection with wt mRNA rescues phenotype, co-injection with mutant mRNA not able to rescue the phenotype | [159] |
dyrk1a (dual-specificity tyrosine-(Y)-phosphorylation regulated kinase 1A) | Down syndrome, ASD, ID | TALENs | Adult mutants present with microcephaly, possibly due to cell death, and reduced neuronal activation (c-fos expression) in the hypothalamus, and reduced expression of chr (corticotrophin-releasing hormone) in the preoptic region; novel tank test revealed shorter freezing time and increased exploration; social interaction test showed mutant specimen spending less time close to interaction fish | [148] |
fmr (fragil x mental retardation) | Fragile X syndrome, learningand cognitive deficits, ADHD, ASD | Translation block MO, ENU mutagenesis | MO injection: patterning defects of the forebrain and MHB; hindbrain oedema; spinal cord neurites with increased branching; co-injection with fmr1 mRNA or MPEP rescues the phenotypes. Knock-out studies: embryos show no phenotypes (possible compensation mechanism?); open field test on adult zebrafish showed decreased freezing | [131,152,160,161] |
glra2 (glycine receptor alpha 2) | ASD | Translation block MO | Hyperbranching of spinal motor neuron axons; co-injection with wt GLRA2 rescues phenotype, while co-injection with mutant RNA fails to rescue | [6] |
lphn3.1 (latrophilin 3) | ADHD | Splice block MO | MO-injected embryos swim longer distances in an un-evoked swimming assay; neuron quantification showed a reduction in the number and a general disorganization of the dopaminergic neurons; behavioral phenotype can be rescued by exposure to ADHD treatment drugs methylphenidate and atomoxetine | [162] |
mecp2 (methyl-CpG-binding protein 2) | ASD, Rett syndrome | Translation and splice block MOs; ENU mutagenesis | MO studies: abnormal neuronal branching and growth of motor neurons; touch-evoked response assay showed a slower response. Mutant studies: touch-evoked response assay showed that mutant larvae have a prolonged coiling response and swimming behavior at later stages shows a reduced in spontaneous activity | [163,164] |
met (tyrosine kinase receptor) | ASD | Translation block MO | Reduction of the cerebellum size by reduced proliferation, impairs migration of hindbrain facial motor neurons | [165] |
nbea (neurobeachin) | ASD | ENU mutagenesis | Loss of GlyR in both hindbrain and spinal cord, reduced dendritic complexity, and defects in glycinergic synaptogenesis; startle response test shows that mutant larvae respond in only 50% of the trials | [154] |
shank3b (sh3 and multiple ankyrin repeat protein 3) | ASD and ID | Splice block MO; CRISPR/Cas9 | MO studies: affected brain patterning; reduction of GABAergic and glutamatergic neurons in the mid and hindbrain; touch-evoked response is impaired. Stable mutant studies: swimming behavior and visual motor response test showed a decrease in response in larvae and adults; embryonic brain shows a decrease in the huc-positive cells, this difference becomes smaller throughout development | [83,166,167] |
syngap1 (synaptic ras GTPase activating protein) | ASD and ID | Splice block MO | Brain patterning affected; reduction of GABAergic and glutamatergic neurons in the mid and hindbrain; touch-evoked response is impaired in morphant larvae, with reduced swim speed | [167] |
trappc6b (trafficking protein particle complex 6b) | Microcephaly, epilepsy, ASD | Translation and splice block MO | Decreased head size due to increased apoptosis, increased spontaneous neuron firing and activity | [151] |
