A recent study reported that a mutation of neuroligin-3 (NL3), an X-linked gene, was found in siblings with autistic spectrum disorder in which two affected brothers had a point mutation that substituted a Cys for Arg451.

CNTNAP2 and NRXN1 are mutated in autosomal-recessive Pitt-Hopkins-like mental retardation and determine the level of a common synaptic protein in Drosophila.

Our results showed that four SNPs of NRXN1 gene were significantly associated with schizophrenia (rs10490168: G > A, p = 0.017; rs2024513: A > G, p = 0.006; rs13382584: T > C, p = 0.009; and rs1558852: G > A, p = 0.031).
Since I1068V was observed in a single patient, it is impossible to exclude the possibility that I1068V makes a minor contribution to schizophrenia susceptibility.

Interestingly, there was a statistically significant association of neurexin-1 SNP P300P (rs2303298) with risk of autism (26.2% vs. 13.8%; χ(2) = 22.487; p = 3.45E-006; OR = 2.152 (1.559-2.970)).
We hypothesized that DNA variants affecting neurodevelopment such as rs4307059 (CDH10/CDH9), rs930752 (NRXN1), rs6265 (BDNF) or rs10868235 (NTRK2) may predispose to completed suicide.
