Relevance to Autism
A de novo variant was identified in the 3'UTR of the TAF1L gene in an autistic proband (O'Roak et al., 2011). Other missense and 3'UTR variants were seen in controls and 1000 Genomes samples.
Molecular Function
Acts as a function substitute for TAF1/TAFII250 during male meiosis, when sex chromosomes are transcriptionally silenced.
