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 Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• microcephaly 5, primary, autosomal recessive

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 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 1-197142450-CTTTT-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-197142450-CTTTT-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 434418.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
