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]

Identified in trans with a second MCPH1 variant in an individual with developmental delay, intellectual disability, epilepsy, severe visual impairment, microcephaly and abnormal brain MRI. This individual also had a balanced reciprocal translocation (PMID: 33094427); Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 33094427) -

Variant summary: MCPH1 c.1869_1870delAT (p.Cys624X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 249512 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1869_1870delAT has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with neurological abnomalities and microcephaly (e.g., Cheng_2021). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication was ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 33094427). One submitter has reported clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and has classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
