CNTN2 and cancer: For example, among the 93 genes that have a relevant position within the module (Figure 1C) we found cancer genes that control cell proliferation, [e.g., Tumor Protein P53 (TP53), AKT Serine/Threonine Kinase 1 (AKT1), Mechanistic Target Of Rapamycin (MTOR), C-Terminal Binding Protein 1 (CTBP1)], a process that was recently proposed as a common denominator of cancer and ASDs (Crawley et al., 2016), and genes with relevant role for brain function e.g., histone deacetylase-1 (HDAC1), histone deacetylase-3 HDAC3 (Volmar and Wahlestedt, 2015) and contactin-2 (CNTN2) (Anderson et al., 2012).
