Association Analysis of Rare CNTN5 Variants With Autism Spectrum Disorder in a Japanese Population.
Article in Neuropsychopharmacology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundContactin-5 (CNTN5), a neural adhesion molecule involved in synaptogenesis and synaptic maturation in the auditory pathway, has been associated with the pathophysiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), particularly hyperacusis. To investigate the role of rare CNTN5 variants in ASD susceptibility, we performed resequencing and association analysis in a Japanese population.
methodsWe resequenced the CNTN5 coding regions in 302 patients with ASD and prioritized rare putatively damaging variants. The prioritized variants were then genotyped in 313 patients with ASD and 1065 controls. Subsequently, we conducted an association study of selected variants with ASD in 614 patients with ASD and 61 057 controls. Clinical data were reviewed for patients carrying prioritized variants.
resultsThrough resequencing, we prioritized three rare putatively damaging missense variants (W69G, I227L, and L1000S) in patients with ASD. Although we found a nominally significant association between the I227L variant and ASD, it did not remain significant after post hoc correction. Hyperacusis was found in three out of nine patients carrying prioritized variants.
conclusionThis study does not provide evidence for the contribution of rare CNTN5 variants to the genetic etiology of ASD in the Japanese population.
