NRXN1 is highly expressed in brain and has been shown recently to be associated with ASD, schizophrenia, cognitive and behavioral abnormalities, and alcohol and nicotine dependence. We present three families, in whom we identified intragenic rearrangements within NRXN1 using a clinical targeted oligonucleotide array CGH. An approximately 380 kb deletion was identified in a woman with Asperger syndrome, anxiety, and depression and in all four of her children affected with autism, anxiety, developmental delay, and speech delay but not in an unaffected child. An approximately 180 kb tandem duplication was found in a patient with autistic disorder and cognitive delays, and in his mother and younger brother who have speech delay. An approximately 330 kb tandem duplication was identified in a patient with autistic features. As predicted by conceptual translation, all three genomic rearrangements led to the premature truncation of NRXN1. Our data support previous observations that NRXN1 may be pathogenic in a wide variety of psychiatric diseases, including autism spectrum disorder, global developmental delay, anxiety, and depression.
NRXN1 在大脑中高度表达,最近有研究表明其与 ASD、精神分裂症、认知和行为异常以及酒精和尼古丁依赖有关。我们介绍了三个家系,我们使用临床靶向寡核苷酸微阵列 CGH 在这些家系中鉴定到 NRXN1 内基因内重排。一位患有 Asperger 综合征、焦虑和抑郁的女性及其四个受自闭症、焦虑、发育迟缓、言语迟缓影响的孩子中发现了大约 380 kb 的缺失,但未在一个未受影响的孩子中发现。在一名患有自闭症障碍和认知障碍的患者及其有言语迟缓的母亲和弟弟中发现了大约 180 kb 的串联重复。在一名具有自闭症特征的患者中鉴定到大约 330 kb 的串联重复。正如概念翻译所预测的那样,所有三种基因组重排都导致了 NRXN1 的过早截断。我们的数据支持了之前的观察结果,即 NRXN1 可能在包括自闭症谱系障碍、全面发育迟缓、焦虑和抑郁在内的多种精神疾病中具有致病性。
