Phenotypic comparisons of DYRK1A to idiopathic ASD

Total DYRK1A sample (n = 61) DYRK1A ascertained for ASD (n = 18) SSC idiopathic ascertained for ASD (n = 1981) Sig (total DYRK1A vs idio total) SSC idiopathic ASD with IQ < 70 (n = 487) Sig (total DYRK1A vs idio IQ < 70)

Frequency of core phenotypic features (included if reported in 75% or more cases) observed in total DYRK1A sample (Pub-SNV, UW-SNV, and Pub-CHR) compared to frequency of same features in those with DYRK1A mutations ascertained for ASD, a large sample of cases with idiopathic ASD from the Simons Simplex Collection (ascertained for ASD), and a subset of idiopathic cases with IQ < 70. Totals reflect those with complete data. Fisher’s exact tests used to compare total DYRK1A sample to both idiopathic samples on each phenotypic characteristic; all group differences significant, p < 0.001. Sig significance
