    <p>A. The colocalization of <i>ProSAP1A/SHANK2</i>-EGFP (postsynaptic marker) and Bassoon (presynaptic marker) indicated that the mutations did not disturb the formation of SHANK2 clusters at excitatory synapses along the dendrites. B. The quantification of synapse density was performed on 20 transfected hippocampal neurons per construct from at least three independent experiments. The majority of the <i>ProSAP1A</i> variants affecting a conserved amino acid among SHANK proteins reduced significantly the synaptic density compared with the variants that affect amino acid non conserved among SHANK proteins (Mann-Whitney U-test: n<sub>WT</sub> = 20, n<sub>mut</sub> = 20; U<sub>S557N</sub> = 82.5, p<sub>S557N</sub> = 0.001; U<sub>R569H</sub> = 124, p<sub>R569H</sub> = 0.04; U<sub>L629P</sub> = 149, p<sub>L629P</sub> = 0.17; U<sub>V717F</sub> = 114, p<sub>V717F</sub> = 0.02; U<sub>A729T</sub> = 73, p<sub>A729T</sub> = 0.000; U<sub>K780Q</sub> = 154, p<sub>K780Q</sub> = 0.221; U<sub>R818H</sub> = 108, p<sub>R818H</sub> = 0.012; U<sub>A822T</sub> = 154.5, p<sub>A822T</sub> = 0.224; U<sub>V823M</sub> = 129, p<sub>V823M</sub> = 0.056; U<sub>Y967C</sub> = 134, p<sub>Y967C</sub> = 0.076; U<sub>G1170R</sub> = 78, p<sub>G1170R</sub> = 0.001; U<sub>R1290W</sub> = 142, p<sub>R1290W</sub> = 0.121; U<sub>Q1308R</sub> = 162, p<sub>Q1308R</sub> = 0.314; U<sub>D1535N</sub> = 97, p<sub>D1535N</sub> = 0.005; U<sub>P1586L</sub> = 137, p<sub>P1586L</sub> = 0.910; U<sub>L1722P</sub> = 79, p<sub>L1722P</sub> = 0.001, *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001). <b>C.</b> Effect of the variants on synaptic density. The y-axis represents −log P compared to WT (P obtained with Mann-Whitney test). After Bonferroni correction for 16 tests, only P values<0.003 were considered as significant. Variants represented in red were specific to ASD, in orange were shared by ASD and controls, and in green were specific to the controls.

    <p>A. <i>SHANK2</i> splice mutation (IVS22+1G>T) detected in a Swedish female control, SWE_Q56_508. The mutation altered the donor splicing site of exon 22 and led to a premature stop in all <i>SHANK2</i> isoforms except for the <i>AF1411901</i> isoform, where it altered the protein sequence (G263V). B. CNVs in the same individual altering <i>LOC339822</i>, <i>SNTG2</i>, <i>PXDN</i> and <i>MYT1L</i>.

Dots show the B allele frequency (BAF; in green), Log R ratio (LRR; in red), and QuantiSNP score (in blue).

    <p>A. A heterozygous deletion of <i>SHANK2</i> was identified with the Illumina Human 1M-Duo SNP array in a patient with autism (AU038_3). The deletion spans 421 kb on chromosome 11q13.3, covers twelve exons of the human <i>SHANK2</i> and is not present in the parents. Each dot shows Log R Ratio (LRR; in red) and B allele frequency (BAF; in green). QuantiSNP score is represented with a blue line and indicates the deletion size. B. Location of the CNV and sequence variants (from this study and Berkel <i>et al.</i> 2010) along the SHANK2 protein: in red the variations specific to ASD, in orange the variations shared by ASD and controls and in green the variations specific to controls <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1002521#pgen.1002521-Berkel1" target="_blank">[26]</a>. The breakpoints of the <i>SHANK2</i> deletion in AU038_3 are represented with a dotted line on the protein. Stars indicate the variants affecting conserved amino acids. C. A total of 40 variants were identified and variants affecting conserved amino acids in other SHANK proteins are enriched in patients with ASD (n<sub>conserved</sub> = 12 and n<sub>non-conserved</sub> = 3) compared with controls (n<sub>conserved</sub> = 6 and n<sub>non-conserved</sub> = 11) (Fisher's exact test 1-sided, P = 0.013, OR = 6.83, 95% IC = 1.19–53.40). D. The percentage of carriers of <i>SHANK2</i> variants in patients with ASD and Controls. Variants affecting a conserved amino acid among the SHANK proteins are enriched in patients with ASD (n<sub>conserved</sub> = 29 and n<sub>non-conserved</sub> = 822) compared with controls (n<sub>conserved</sub> = 16 and n<sub>non-conserved</sub> = 1074) (Fisher's exact test 1-sided, P = 0.004, OR = 2.37, 95% CI = 1.23–4.70).

    <p>A. Genomic structure of the human <i>SHANK2</i> gene. Transcription of <i>SHANK2</i> produces four main mRNA from three distinct promoters: <i>SHANK2E</i> (<i>AB208025</i>), <i>ProSAP1A</i> (<i>AB208026</i>), <i>ProSAP1</i> (<i>AB208027</i>) and <i>AF141901</i>. There are three translation starts: in exon 2 for <i>SHANK2E</i>, in exon1b for <i>ProSAP1A</i>, and in exon1c for <i>ProSAP1</i> and <i>AF141901</i>; and two independent stop codons: in exon 22b for <i>AF141901</i> and in exon 25 for <i>SHANK2E</i>, <i>ProSAP1A</i> and <i>ProSAP1</i>. Conserved domains of protein interaction or protein binding site are represented in color: ANK (red), SH3 (orange), PDZ (blue) and SAM (green), H (pink), D, (dark blue) and C (purple). Black stars identify the alternative spliced exons (‘brain-specific exons’ in turquoise: 19, 20 and 23). B. RT-PCRs of <i>SHANK2</i> isoforms on RNA from different human control tissues (Clontech), and different brain regions of four controls (2 males and 2 females). The amplified regions specific to each isoform of <i>SHANK2</i> are indicated by gray boxes. C. Alternative splicing of human <i>SHANK2</i>; exons 19, 20 and 23 are specific to the brain.
