To assess the relative impact of inherited and de novo variants on autism risk, we generated a comprehensive set of exonic single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and copy number variants (CNVs) from 2,377 families with autism. We find that private, inherited truncating SNVs in conserved genes are enriched in probands (odds ratio = 1.14, P = 0.0002) in comparison to unaffected siblings, an effect involving significant maternal transmission bias to sons. We also observe a bias for inherited CNVs, specifically for small (<100 kb), maternally inherited events (P = 0.01) that are enriched in CHD8 target genes (P = 7.4 × 10(-3)). Using a logistic regression model, we show that private truncating SNVs and rare, inherited CNVs are statistically independent risk factors for autism, with odds ratios of 1.11 (P = 0.0002) and 1.23 (P = 0.01), respectively. This analysis identifies a second class of candidate genes (for example, RIMS1, CUL7 and LZTR1) where transmitted mutations may create a sensitized background but are unlikely to be completely penetrant.
为了评估遗传变异和新生变异对自闭症风险的相对影响,我们从2377个自闭症家庭中生成了一套全面的外显子单核苷酸变异(SNV)和拷贝数变异(CNV)。我们发现,与未受影响的兄弟姐妹相比,保守基因中的私人遗传截短SNV在先证者中富集(优势比=1.14,P=0.0002),这种效应涉及显著的母系向儿子的传递偏差。我们还观察到遗传CNV的偏差,特别是对于小的(<100 kb)、母系遗传的事件(P=0.01),这些事件在CHD8靶基因中富集(P=7.4×10^(-3))。使用逻辑回归模型,我们表明私人截短SNV和罕见的遗传CNV是自闭症的统计学独立风险因素,优势比分别为1.11(P=0.0002)和1.23(P=0.01)。该分析确定了第二类候选基因(例如,RIMS1、CUL7和LZTR1),其中传递的突变可能会产生一个敏感背景,但不太可能完全显性。
