Project description:Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by delayed/abnormal language development, deficits in social interaction, repetitive behaviors and restricted interests. The heterogeneity in clinical presentation of ASD, likely due to different etiologies, complicates genetic/biological analyses of these disorders. DNA microarray analyses were conducted on 116 lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL) from individuals with idiopathic autism who are divided into 3 phenotypic subgroups according to severity scores from the commonly used Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised questionnaire and age-matched, nonautistic controls. Statistical analyses of gene expression data from control LCL against that of LCL from ASD probands identify genes for which expression levels are either quantitatively or qualitatively associated with phenotypic severity. Comparison of the significant differentially expressed genes from each subgroup relative to the control group reveals differentially expressed genes unique to each subgroup as well as genes in common across subgroups. Among the findings unique to the most severely affected ASD group are genes that regulate circadian rhythm, which has been shown to have multiple effects on neurological as well as metabolic functions commonly dysregulated in autism. Among the genes common to all 3 subgroups of ASD are 5 novel genes which appear to associate with androgen sensitivity, which may underlie the strong 4:1 bias towards affected males. Gene expression profiling of 116 LCL from autistic (87) and nonautistic (29) individuals were obtained using a custom-printed DNA microarray containing 39,936 elements (TIGR 40K Human array, GPL3427) and a reference design in which each sample was compared to the Stratagene Universal Human RNA standard. The 87 autistic samples were divided into phenotypic subgroups (language, mild, savant) on the basis of cluster analyses of scores from an autism diagnostic questionnaire, the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised instrument. Differentially expressed genes were determined for all autistic vs. control groups, as well as for each of 3 phenotypic ASD groups and controls.

Project description:Our cohort comprised 40 non-syndromic ASD children.We conducted genome wide analysis using Affymetrix Cytoscan-HD microchips. We identified pathogenic CNVs in 7 patients (17.5%), other variant classified as variants of uncertain significance (VUS) or benign.

Project description:The autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a collection of disorders with heterogeneous etiology, exhibiting common traits including impaired social interactions and communications, repetitive behaviors. 15q11-q13 copy number variations (CNV) were found in 1-3% of ASD cases; of which the detailed mechanism of the major contributor UBE3A gene acted still remained elusive. Here we identified a key enzyme in RA synthesis, negatively regulated in ubiquitination-dependent mode promoted by UBE3A. Our data provide evidences linking UBE3A hyperactivity with ASD phenotypes, with implications for understanding ASD etiology and providing potential interventions in ASD clinical therapy.

Project description:Rare DNA copy-number variation (CNV) plays an important role in the underlying genetic etiology of autism and intellectual disability. Although large numbers of copy-number variants (CNVs) have been recently implicated in autism, most are large affecting many genes and specificity of these lesions with respect to classically defined autism as opposed to more broadly defined developmental delay is unclear. We exploited the repeat architecture of the genome to target smaller regions (n=1340 hotspots, median size 15 kbp) flanked by repetitive sequence among 2,240 autism simplex patients and a subset of unaffected parents.
