EVIDENCE SUMMARY |
The CHD8 gene has been associated with autosomal dominant autism spectrum disorder using the ClinGen Clinical Validity Framework as of 7/11/2018. At least 8 frameshift and nonsense variants have been reported in humans. CHD8 was first associated with this disease in humans as early as 2012 (O'Roak et al.). Association is seen in at least 8 probands in 4 publications (22495309, 24998929, 26789910, 27824329). Of note, one individual inherited a CHD8 variant from a heterozygous mother who has some autistic features but has not been clinically diagnosed. More evidence is available in the literature, but the maximum score for genetic evidence and/or experimental evidence (12 pts.) has been reached. This gene-disease association is supported by a zebrafish model and a mouse model. In summary, CHD8 is definitively associated with autosomal dominant autism spectrum disorder. This classification was approved by the ClinGen Autism and Intellectual Disability Working Group on 7/16/2018.
