Rs6716901

In a study size of 117 Caucasians with Asperger syndrome and 426 controls "Single nucleotide polymorphism rs6716901 in SLC25A12 gene is associated with Asperger syndrome" found association of this SNP's minor allele (A) in SLC25A12 gene with Asperger syndrome. Minor allele (A) was associated with OR 1.70 (0.98-3.02) P=0.008 after correcting for multiple testing. The study did not replicate previously reported associations with rs2056202 and rs3765166 which authors speculate could be due to differences in diagnosing AS and heterogenity of sample, though they admit to limitation of sample size and lack of replication sample.
