Autism is a childhood neuropsychiatric disorder with evidence of a strong genetic component in the complex etiologies. Contactin‐associated protein‐like 2 (CNTNAP2), a member of the neurexin superfamily, plays an essential role in neural development.CNTNAP2was considered as one of the most susceptible genes for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Some studies indicated the association ofCNTNAP2with ASD, while others reported no association. Given the inconsistent results of the previous studies, we performed a family‐based association study between 9 single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) ofCNTNAP2and autism in 640 autistic trios in the Chinese Han population. Then, an updated meta‐analysis, combined with the data from Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (iPSYCH‐PGC ASD, 2017) and available association studies, was conducted. No SNPs were significantly associated with autism in the Chinese Han population. In the meta‐analysis, the two frequently reported SNPs (rs2710102 and rs7794745) showed no significant association with ASD. Therefore,CNTNAP2polymorphisms might not be associated with autism.Autism Research2019, 12: 553–561. © 2019 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Lay SummaryIn present family‐based association study, no single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were significantly associated with autism in the Chinese Han population. In the updated meta‐analysis, the association between the two frequently reported SNPs (rs2710102 and rs7794745) inCNTNAP2and the risk of ASD was explored. However, the results showed no significant association. Therefore, our study suggested thatCNTNAP2polymorphisms might not be associated with autism.
