Relevance to Autism
Maternally-inherited loss-of-function variants in the FAM47A gene were identified in two male ASD probands by whole genome sequencing as part of the MSSNG initiative in Yuen et al., 2017. Based on the discovery of multiple LoF variants and a probability of LoF intolerance rate (pLI) > 0.65, FAM47A was determined to be an ASD candidate gene in this report.
Molecular Function
This gene encodes a protein of unknown function.
