Reelin gene variants and risk of autism spectrum disorders: An integrated meta‐analysis

Abstract: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a severe neurological disorder with a high degree of heritability. Reelin gene (RELN), which plays a crucial role in the migration and positioning of neurons during brain development, has been strongly posed as a candidate gene for ASD. Genetic variants in RELN have been investigated as risk factors of ASD in numerous epidemiologic studies but with inconclusive results. To clearly discern the effects of RELN variants on ASD, the authors conducted a meta-analysis integrating ca… Show more

“…When the P value of Q statistic test was B0.10, or I 2 statistic C50 %, indicating a high degree of heterogeneity among these studies, random-effect model (DerSimonian-Laird) was used to estimate the summary ORs. Otherwise, P value of Q statistic test was [0.10, or I 2 statistic \50 %, suggesting no heterogeneity among these studies, and the fixed-effects model (Mantel-Haenszel) was performed [25,26]. Sensitivity analysis was performed by recalculating ORs after omitting each study in turn to study whether the overall ORs were influenced by a specific study.…”

“…Genetic variants in RELN have been investigated as risk factors of ASD in numerous epidemiologic studies but with inconclusive results (1319). However, recent data collected on much larger samples and with more advanced genetic approaches indicated a relationship between reelin gene mutation and increase risk of autism, suggesting that reelin deficiency may be a vulnerability factor in the etiology of this neurodevelopmental disorder (2027). …”

“…TBR1 has established roles in patterning of the central nervous system, including regulation of neuronal identities during cortical development 14 . It is striking that among the small number of known TBR1 targets, three— RELN , GRIN2B and AUTS2 —have been implicated in ASD 3,7,8,1518 . Of particular interest, GRIN2B is one of the six genes mutated recurrently in ASD.…”
