Relevance to Autism

A LoF variant in the PCDH11X gene was identified in a male ASD proband, but not in male or female controls, in Lim et al., 2013. A second LoF variant in this gene was identifed in a male ASD proband 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, PCDH11X was determined to be an ASD candidate gene in Yuen et al., 2017.

Molecular Function

This gene belongs to the protocadherin gene family, a subfamily of the cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein consists of an extracellular domain containing 7 cadherin repeats, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic tail that differs from those of the classical cadherins. The gene is located in a major X/Y block of homology and its Y homolog, despite divergence leading to coding region changes, is the most closely related cadherin family member. The protein is thought to play a fundamental role in cell-cell recognition essential for the segmental development and function of the central nervous system. Disruption of this gene may be associated with developmental dyslexia.
