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]

ASPM (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 1-197102331-TGTAA-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-197102331-TGTAA-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 422700.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Microcephaly 5, primary, autosomal recessive Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genome-Nilou Lab	Apr 11, 2023	- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing;provider interpretation	Geisinger Autism and Developmental Medicine Institute, Geisinger Health System	Jun 28, 2017	This 8 year old female with microcephaly (<2nd percentile) and intellectual disbality was found to carry a maternally inherited variant in the ASPM gene. The p.Leu2306SerfsX20 is absent from population databases. The variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function. She also carries a paternally inherited ASPM variant (p.Arg1818Cys), classified as a variant of uncertain significance. While homozygous or compound heterozygous variants in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive primary microcephaly, this patient also carries a maternally-inherited pathogenic variant in KIF11, which is currently thought to be the underlying genetic etiology for her microcephaly and intellectual disability. Individuals with this form of primary microcephaly have been noted to have narrow sloping foreheads; this patient and her mother are both noted to have sloping foreheads with bitemporal narrowing. -
