Gene Name and Location | Variant Type | Annotation on ClinVar or SFARI | Encoded Protein | Signaling Pathways/Neuronal Circuitry | Other Conditions Associated with the Variant | Mutation Confirmation by Sanger |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
SLC12A5 (chr20:46022977:A:G) |
Splice region variant | SFARI risk gene | KCC2 (Type 2 K+-Cl− cotransporter) | Enhancement of the NF-κB/MMP-7 signaling pathway; Glycinergic signaling pathway. Regulates neuronal excitability |
Epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile | Yes |
IER3IP1 (chr18:47156119:A:G) |
Splice region variant | Pathogenic on ClinVar | IER3IP1 | Although highly expressed in the brain, its role in the CNS circuitry is unknown | Microcephaly, epilepsy, diabetes syndrome | N.A. |
AIFM1 (chrX:130136710:T:C) |
3 prime UTR | Likely pathogenic on ClinVar | Mitochondrial flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent oxidoreductase | Ceramide signaling pathway, innate immunity; has known expression and functionsin the CNS | Mitochondrial encephalopathy | No |
CEP19 in 3q29 (chr3:196711952:A:G) |
SNV | SFARI risk gene | Centrosomal Protein 19 | Ciliary entry of intraflagellar transport; Although highly expressed in the brain, its role in the CNS circuitry is unknown | Delayed development (speech delay), mild or moderate intellectual disability, gastrointestinal disorders, morbid obesity | N.A. |
