Abstract

L'autisme est un trouble neurologique hautement héritable et les variants génétiques connus, pour la plupart rares, représentent seulement une petite proportion des cas.
 Here we report a genome-wide association study on autism using two Chinese cohorts as gene discovery (n=2150) and three data sets of European ancestry populations for replication analysis of top association signals. Meta-analysis identified three single-nucleotide polymorphisms, rs936938 (P=4.49 × 10-8), non-synonymous rs6537835 (P=3.26 × 10-8) and rs1877455 (P=8.70 × 10-8), and related haplotypes, AMPD1-NRAS-CSDE1, TRIM33 and TRIM33-BCAS2, associated with autism; all were mapped to a previously reported linkage region (1p13.2) with autism. These genetic associations were further supported by a cis-acting regulatory effect on the gene expressions of CSDE1, NRAS and TRIM33 and by differential expression of CSDE1 and TRIM33 in the human prefrontal cortex of post-mortem brains between subjects with and those without autism.

 Notre étude suggère TRIM33 et ARN-CSDE1 comme gènes candidats pour l'autisme et peut fournir un éclairage nouveau sur l'étiologie de l'autisme.
