Relevance to Autism
Genetic association has been found between the FEZF2 gene and autism in two large cohorts (AGRE and ACC) of European ancestry and replicated in two other cohorts (CAP and CART) (Wang et al., 2009). In addition, a rare mutation in the FEZF2 gene has been identified in an individual with ASD (Sanders et al., 2012). A de novo loss-of-function variant in FEZF2 was identified in an ASD proband from the SPARK cohort in Feliciano et al., 2019; in the same report, a meta-analysis of de novo variants in 4773 published ASD trios and 465 SPARK trios using TADA identified FEZF2 as an ASD candidate gene with a q-value 0.1.
