FRA7A ZNF713

Disease ID
FRA7A
Gene ID
ZNF713

Disease

Name
Autism spectrum disorder associated with fragile site FRA7A
Inheritance
Autosomal dominant
Description
A spectrum of developmental disorders that includes autism, and Asperger syndrome. Signs and symptoms include poor communication skills, defective social interactions, and repetitive behaviors1 .
Prevalence
1 proband reported alongside 3 individuals with premutations, found in 2 families without discussion of ancestry/ethnicity2 .
Age of OnsetYears2  3
Age of Onset Details
2-3 (four individuals)2 .

Locus

Details
176 controls were used to establish the benign range (5-22 repeats), whereas a singular proband was identified with ~450 repeats2 . The observed intermediate alleles were presumed to function as premutations, with variable amounts of methylation2
Mechanism
LoF
Methylation, evidence of transcriptional misregulation3,2 .
