Autism susceptibility candidate 2 (AUTS2) (also termed “activator of transcription and developmental regulator”) has been identified in human genetic studies as a risk gene for numerous types of psychiatric illnesses, including ASDs, intellectual disabilities (IDs), and schizophrenia (Hori and Hoshino, 2017; Oksenberg and Ahituv, 2013). This evidence concerns the gene AUTS2 and schizophrenia.
