Genes affected
ASPM (HGNC:19048): (assembly factor for spindle microtubules) This gene is the human ortholog of the Drosophila melanogaster 'abnormal spindle' gene (asp), which is essential for normal mitotic spindle function in embryonic neuroblasts. Studies in mouse also suggest a role of this gene in mitotic spindle regulation, with a preferential role in regulating neurogenesis. Mutations in this gene are associated with microcephaly primary type 5. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, May 2011]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1576Serfs*7) in the ASPM gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs587783245, ExAC 0.02%). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in ASPM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19028728, 23611254). This variant has been observed in an individual affected with primary microcephaly (PMID: 23611254). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 157824). -
