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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoDec 27, 2021DNA sequence analysis of the ASPM gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.3796G>T, which results in the creation of a premature stop codon at amino acid position 1266, p.Glu1266*. This pathogenic sequence change is predicted to result in an abnormal transcript, which may be degraded, or may lead to the production of a truncated ASPM protein with potentially abnormal function. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database in two individuals which corresponds to a population frequency of 0.0008% (dbSNP rs199422161). This pathogenic sequence change has previously been described the homozygous and compound heterozygous state in individuals with microcephaly (PMID: 30842647, 20679666, 19028728). -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxSep 04, 2019Reported previously in individuals with autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (Halsall et al., 2010; Nicholas et al., 2009); 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 a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22823409, 20301772, 25525159, 19028728, 20679666, 30842647) -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 04, 2022For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21582). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with primary microcephaly (PMID: 19028728, 30842647). This variant is present in population databases (rs199422161, gnomAD 0.002%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu1266*) in the ASPM gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ASPM are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19028728, 23611254). -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpSep 04, 2019Variant summary: ASPM c.3796G>T (p.Glu1266X) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g. c.9178C>T (p.Gln3060X)). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 250222 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.3796G>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Primary autosomal recessive microcephaly (Nicholas_2009, Halsall_2010, Ariani_2013). In one of these reports, this variant was also found in heterozygosity, in an individual who was affected with microcephaly, but without serious cognitive dysfunction (Ariani_2013). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One submitter has provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
