AUTS2, variants, traits, and what the research shows

AUTS2 - what this gene does

Variants in AUTS2 fall into two broad trait theme areas - rare disease and mental health - based on 689 variants catalogued in our database. Because no detailed SNP-level summaries are yet available for this gene, specific mechanisms, named conditions, and effect sizes cannot be described without risk of fabrication.

Key takeaways

• AUTS2 has 689 catalogued genetic variants, 43 of which have prior research data
• The top-ranked variants are linked to rare disease and mental health trait categories
• All top-20 highest-ranked variants share a magnitude score of 5.50, the highest tier currently represented for this gene
• No individual variant in this gene is a guaranteed predictor of any health outcome
• Detailed variant-level findings will be added as research summaries become available

Notable variants

The top 20 variants on file all carry a magnitude score of 5.50. Among these, rare-disease-linked variants include rs1051952947, rs1057521756, rs1064794696, rs1206101901, and rs1223142286. Mental-health-linked variants at the same magnitude tier include rs1057517708, rs1057518198, and rs143679158. Specific trait names, odds ratios, and sample sizes are not yet available in our database for any of these variants.

Trait associations

Of the 20 highest-ranked variants on file, 15 are tagged to rare disease traits and 5 to mental health traits - the latter including rs1311127815 and rs1340261250. The presence of both trait categories across this gene's variant landscape indicates it has been implicated in research spanning more than one clinical domain. Specific condition names and directions of effect cannot be stated without underlying research summaries.

Evidence quality

No detailed research summaries are currently available for this gene's variants in this database. Of the 689 total variants on file, 43 have prior research data; those summaries will be incorporated as they are processed. Without effect sizes, sample sizes, replication cohorts, or GWAS (genome-wide association study - a method that scans many people's genomes for variants statistically linked to a trait) metadata, the strength of individual signals cannot be assessed beyond the broad trait theme labels assigned to each variant.

What this is NOT

These variants are population-level statistical signals, not deterministic predictors for any individual. This page does not prescribe, diagnose, or advise any course of action.
