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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.0079114735).
BP6
Variant 1-197104518-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr1-197104518-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 157825.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00139 (212/151980) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.00472 (196/41524). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00418. There are 2 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 103 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 2 AR gene
