Genes affected

MCPH1 (HGNC:6954): (microcephalin 1) This gene encodes a DNA damage response protein. The encoded protein may play a role in G2/M checkpoint arrest via maintenance of inhibitory phosphorylation of cyclin-dependent kinase 1. Mutations in this gene have been associated with primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 1 and premature chromosome condensation syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

MCPH1-DT (HGNC:55599): (MCPH1 divergent transcript)

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.012434818 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.7, offset of 2, new splice context is: gggGTactt. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 8-6406690-GTGA-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-6406690-GTGA-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 435838.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
