Relevance to Autism
A germline mosiac duplication of the PXDN and MYT1L genes was transmitted from a psychiatrically normal mother to two male half-siblings with autism (Meyer et al., 2012).
Molecular Function
This gene encodes a heme-containing peroxidase that is secreted into the extracellular matrix and is involved in extracellular matrix formation. Homozygous mutations in PXDN have been reported in two consanguineous Pakistani families with congenital cataract-microcornea with mild to moderate corneal opacity and in a consanguineous Cambodian family with developmental glaucoma and severe corneal opacification (Khan et al., 2011).
