Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_018136.5(ASPM):c.4363G>T(p.Glu1455*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Microcephaly 5, primary, autosomal recessive Pathogenic:4

The homozygous p.Glu1455Ter variant in ASPM was identified by our study in 3 siblings with autosomal recessive primary microcephaly 5. The variant has not been previously reported in individuals with autosomal recessive primary microcephaly 5, but segregated with disease in 2 affected relatives from the same family, and was absent from large population studies. This variant has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 380612) as pathogenic by GeneDx and Genetic Services Laboratory, University of Chicago, and as likely pathogenic by Biochemical Molecular Genetic Laboratory, King Abdulaziz Medical City. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 1455, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the ASPM gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive primary microcephaly 5. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive primary microcephaly 5 based on the predicted impact of the variant, its absence from control populations, and its homozygous appearance in 3 affected siblings. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PM3_supporting, PP1 (Richards 2015). -
