Added comment: DISPUTED by ClinGen:

The Arginine Vasopressin Receptor 1A (AVPR1A) was considered a candidate gene in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) based on reports focused on linkage intervals and animal models. Additionally, experimental evidence showed that AVPR1A is possibly involved in social behaviors, including affiliation and attachment (PMID: 24924430). However, these association studies were underpowered—sequencing more individuals may have identified variants of functional significance. In two studies, transmission disequilibrium between AVPR1A microsatellites and autism were found but most were not statistically significant (PMID: 12082568, 16520824). In another study, investigators screened AVPR1A exons in 125 independent autistic probands (PMID: 15098001). However, the study did not demonstrate a disease-causing variant in the coding sequence, and the authors noted that differences in AVPR1A at the amino-acid level are unlikely to confer genetic vulnerability to autism. Experimental evidence is available, but, in the absence of human genetic evidence, such data were not utilized in the scoring. In summary, there is no valid genetic evidence to support an association between AVPR1A and autism spectrum disorder.
