Meta-analysis of SHANK Mutations in Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Gradient of Severity in Cognitive Impairments

Claire S. Leblond, +59 more
- 04 Sep 2014 - 
TL;DR: Mutations of the SHANK genes were detected in the whole spectrum of autism with a gradient of severity in cognitive impairment and the clinical relevance of these genes remains to be ascertained.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and Functional Analyses of SHANK2 Mutations Suggest a Multiple Hit Model of Autism Spectrum Disorders

TL;DR: The identification of a novel 421 kb de novo SHANK2 deletion in a patient with autism strengthens the role of synaptic gene dysfunction in ASD but also highlights the presence of putative modifier genes, in keeping with the “multiple hit model” for ASD.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Genetic Landscapes of Autism Spectrum Disorders

TL;DR: Despite a heterogeneous genetic landscape, the genes implicated thus far seem to converge in common pathways affecting neuronal and synaptic homeostasis, and animal models developed to study these genes should lead to a better understanding of the diversity of the genetic landscapes of ASD.
Journal ArticleDOI

SHANK1 Deletions in Males with Autism Spectrum Disorder

TL;DR: A hemizygous SHANK1 deletion is identified that segregates in a four-generation family in which male carriers--but not female carriers--have ASD with higher functioning, and the discovery of apparent reduced penetrance of ASD in females bearing inherited autosomal SHank1 deletions provides a possible contributory model for the male gender bias in autism.
Journal ArticleDOI

The emerging role of SHANK genes in neuropsychiatric disorders

TL;DR: Based on neuropathological findings in animal models and patients, a possible role of SHANK in Alzheimer's disease is discussed and information is provided to further investigate the role of the SHANK genes in neuropsychiatric disorders.
