During the last decade several genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have enabled the detection of a few plausible risk variants. The three main studies are family-based and pointed at SEMA5A (rs10513025), MACROD2 (rs4141463) and MSNP1 (rs4307059). In our study we attempted to replicate these GWAS hits using a case-control association study in five European populations of ASD patients and gender-matched controls, all Caucasians. Results showed no association of individual variants with ASD in any of the population groups considered or in the combined European sample. We performed a meta-analysis study across five European populations for rs10513025 (1,904 ASD cases and 2,674 controls), seven European populations for rs4141463 (2,855 ASD cases and 36,177 controls) and five European populations for rs4307059 (2,347 ASD cases and 2,764 controls). The results showed an odds ratio (OR) of 1.05 (95% CI?=?0.84–1.32) for rs10513025, 1.0002 (95% CI?=?0.93–1.08) for rs4141463 and 1.01 (95% CI?=?0.92–1.1) for rs4307059, with no significant P-values (rs10513025, P?=?0.73; rs4141463, P?=?0.95; rs4307059, P?=?0.9). No association was found when we considered either only high functioning autism (HFA), genders separately or only multiplex families. Ongoing GWAS projects with larger ASD cohorts will contribute to clarify the role of common variation in the disorder and will likely identify risk variants of modest effect not detected previously.

Meta-analysis and association of two common polymorphisms of the human oxytocin receptor gene in autism spectrum disorder / Thorsten M. KRANZ in Autism Research, 9-10 (October 2016)

CHIOCCHETTI, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1036-1045 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : meta-analysis  autism spectrum disorder  oxytocin receptor  genotyping  social interaction  endophenotype  genetics  oxytocin Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Neuropeptides such as oxytocin (OXT) are known facilitators of social behavior across species. Variants of the OXT receptor gene (OXTR) have been tested for association with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) across manifold ethnicities, yielding both positive and negative findings. A recent meta-analysis, comprising 16 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), has corroborated the implication of OXTR in the etiology of ASD. Here, we genotyped and tested two additional variants (rs237889 and rs237897) for association with ASD in two German predominantly high-functioning ASD samples. We found nominal over-transmission (OR?=?1.48, CI95?=?1.06-2.08, P?=?0.022) for the minor A allele of variant rs237889G>A in sample 1 (N?=?135 complete parent-offspring trios, 29 parent child duos), but not in sample 2 (362 trios, 69 duos). Still, in a meta-analysis comprising four different studies including the two unreported German data sets (N?=?542 families), this finding was confirmed (OR?=?1.12; CI95?=?1.01–1.24, random effects P?=?0.012). In addition, carriers of the minor risk allele rs237889-A showed significantly increased severity scores, as assessed through the autism diagnostic interview – revised (ADI-R), with highly significant increases in social interaction deficits. Our results corroborate the implication of common OXTR variants in the etiology of ASD. There is a need for functional studies to delineate the neurobiological implications of this and other association findings. (172/250).

Sex differences in cognitive domains and their clinical correlates in higher-functioning autism spectrum disorders / Sven BÖLTE in Autism, 15-4 (July 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 15-4 (July 2011) . - p.497-511 Titre : Sex differences in cognitive domains and their clinical correlates in higher-functioning autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sven BÖLTE, Auteur ; Eftichia DUKETIS, Auteur ; Fritz POUSTKA, Auteur ; Martin HOLTMANN, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.497-511 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : PDD  neuropsychology  gender  executive function  attention  savant Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Despite the skewed sex ratio, few studies have addressed possible cognitive sex differences in autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). This study compared visual attention to detail (ATTD) and selected executive functions (EF) in 35 males and 21 females with higher-functioning ASD and unaffected sibling controls. Females with ASD outperformed males on EF as assessed by the Trail Making Test B-A. Males with ASD showed superior performance for ATTD as measured by the Block Design Test (BD) when compared with females. EF difficulties in males were correlated with more stereotypic behaviours and interests on the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised or the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule. The results indicated clinically meaningful cognitive sex differences in ASD, particularly an association between EF and stereotypic behaviours and interests. ATTD as a potential basis for specific cognitive strengths (e.g. scientific/savant skills) might be more pronounced in males with ASD.
