Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Trial
Official title:
Investigation of the HDAC4 Copy Number Variation and Its Effect on Gene and Protein Expression in Patients With ASD
Specific Aims of this study:
1. To understand the distribution of HDAC4 CNV in the families of the ASD patients with
HDAC4 CNV;
2. To perform the analysis of gene expression;
3. To investigate the HDAC4 protein level expression;
4. To investigate the correlation of clinical/cognitive features with HDAC4 CNV, RNA and
protein expression in ASD patients, and compare with their unaffected family members.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder affecting up to 1/50
in the world and 1% in Taiwan. ASD is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous complex
disorder with high heritability. Due to its high prevalence, lifetime impairment and no
effective prevention and treatment, ASD has been prioritized for molecular genetic study.
Among the genetic findings based on our copy number variation (CNV) analysis of 335 patients
with ASD, HDAC4 gene is selected to help us understand the pathogenesis of ASD by
investigating parent-of-origin and the gene and protein expression of this gene, alongside
neurocognitive and behavioral phenotypes.
Based on our findings on HDAC4 CNV analysis, the patients with HDAC4 CNVs (~30 patients) and
their families will be invited to participate the investigation of the CNV, RNA and protein
expression analysis. Five healthy controls without any diagnosis of psychiatric disorders
will be recruited to perform the comparison with ASD patients with HDSC4. The autistic
symptoms and behavioral phenotypes assessed by the Chinese SCQ and SRS, and the cognitive
function assessed by intelligence test and WCST will be used to reveal the associations among
the CNVs, RNA expression, protein level and clinical/cognitive phenotypes.
According to our previous CNV findings at the HDAC4 locus, we expect to find CNV in HDAC4
variation in another independent sample of our ASD cohort and to explore how HDAC4 CNVs
affect the RNA and protein expression of HDAC4. We anticipate our endeavors will provide the
comprehensive profiles of the CNV, RNA and protein expressions and the clinical features of
ASD patients with HDAC4 CNVs and contribute to our understanding of the pathogenesis of ASD.
