Relevance to Autism
Several studies have found genetic association and rare variants in the AVPR1A gene that are identified with autism. Cohorts and populations studied include CLSA, US, Israeli and Korean, In addition, the AVPR1A gene has been found to be genetically associated with creative dance performance in an Israeli cohort. A recent study reported association of the RS3 allele and human maternal behavior (Avinun et al., 2012).
Molecular Function
The encoded protein is a receptor for arginine vasopressin. It belongs to the G -protein coupled receptor family.
