Relevance to Autism
A recurrent de novo nonsense variant in the ZSWIM6 gene (p.Arg913Ter) was identified in seven unrelated individuals affected with intellectual disability; five of these individuals also met the diagnostic crtieria for autism or autism spectrum disorder (Palmer et al., 2017).
Molecular Function
The protein encoded by this gene contains a zinc finger SWI2/SNF2 and MuDR (SWIM) domain. Proteins with SWIM domains have been found in a diverse number of species and are predicted to interact with DNA or proteins. Mutations in this gene result in acromelic frontonasal dysostosis.
