CNTNAP2 is a gene on chromosome 7 encoding the contactin-associated protein-like 2, a member of the neurexin superfamily. SNPs in CNTNAP2 have been associated with increased susceptibility to autism spectrum disorders:

  • rs7794745, a common polymorphism
  • rs2710102, another common SNP, linked to delayed onset of speech
  • Several rare variants found primarily in families with only affected males [PMID 18179895]
