Relevance to Autism
Integration of familial whole-exome datasets of 3,531 individuals from 1,704 simplex ASD families and 50 multiplex ASD families and expression data from the BrainSpan Atlas of the Developmental Human Brain in Luo et al., 2020 identified a neurodevelopmentally co-regulated, sex-differentially expressed cluster of exons enriched with ASD-segregating deleterious variants in the TNS2 gene (Bonferroni-corrected cluster P-value of 7.12E-03).
Molecular Function
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the tensin family. Tensin is a focal adhesion molecule that binds to actin filaments and participates in signaling pathways. This protein plays a role in regulating cell migration.
