SCN2A activates ARSD. 9 / 9

reach
"Gain-of-function (GoF) variants of SCN2A are closely associated with unprovoked seizures and epilepsy, whereas loss-of-function (LoF) or protein-truncating variants of SCN2A (collectively referred to as Na 1.2 deficiency) are leading genetic causes of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual disability (ID) (Hoischen et al., 2014; Johnson et al., 2016; Sanders et al., 2012; Satterstrom et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2016a)."

reach
"As discussed previously, the ASD-causing Scn2a missense and deletion mutations can also be addressed by a mechanism like that of Nusinersen [26]."

reach
"Two genes (KLF16 and MSANTD2) were significantly enriched for PZMs genome-wide, and other PZMs involved genes (SCN2A, HNRNPU, SMARCA4) known to cause ASD or other neurodevelopmental disorders."

reach
"While we focused on understanding Na V 1.2 dysfunction in cortical pyramidal cells, SCN2A expression in other cell types may also contribute to ASD."

reach
"For example, loss-of-function variants in the SCN2A sodium channel gene impair glutamatergic neuronal excitability, leading to ASD and/or intellectual disability, while gain of function variants potentiate excitability leading to infantile-onset seizure phenotypes ."

eidos
"This generates the hypothesis that SCN2A contributes to ASD and ID by disrupting synaptic function , like many other ASD genes , and that these effects persist in mature neurons ."

"This generates the hypothesis that SCN2A contributes to ASD and ID by disrupting synaptic function, like many other ASD genes, and that these effects persist in mature neurons."

reach
"Various therapeutics exist that can be extrapolated to address the needs of Scn2a LOF induced ASD."

reach
"In order to focus on genes that are infrequently mutated we did not consider genes with more than three missense mutations, which notably included the well-documented ASD driver SCN2A, and six more genes (HLA-B, MAGEC1, MUC4, MUC5B, PABPC1, and RBMX)."
