Relevance to Autism

This gene has been associated with syndromic autism, where a subpopulation of individuals with a given syndrome develop autism. Genetic association has also been found between the CACNA1F gene and schizophrenia in a Caucasian-European cohort from the UK population (Wei and Hemmings, 2006).

Molecular Function

The encoded protein has low voltage-gated calcium channel activity.
