Relevance to Autism

Deletion of STAT1 from GABAergic inhibitory neurons resulted in deficits in social behavior in mice as measured by the three-chamber social task (Filiano et al., 2016). A novel and predicted damaging de novo missense variant in this gene was identified in an ASD proband from the Simons Simplex Collection (Iossifov et al., 2014).

Molecular Function

This gene encodes a signal transducer and transcription activator that mediates cellular responses to interferons (IFNs), cytokine KITLG/SCF and other cytokines and other growth factors.

Model Summary

Stat1 conditional knockout from gabaergic neurons causes mice to be impaired in socialibility, Stat1 homozygous null mice have impaired growth and are susceptible to viral diseases.

Description: Loss of stat1 from gabaergic inibitory neurons, attentuating ifn-gamma signaling in these neurons, impairs social behavior as the conditional knockouts show reduced preference to social stimulus over object
