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]

The R1599X nonsense variant in the ASPM gene has been reported previously as a homozygous pathogenic variant in several families with microcephaly (Bond et al., 2013; Tan et al., 2014). This pathogenic variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. It is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). Therefore, R1599X is interpreted to be a pathogenic variant. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21588). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of ASPM-related conditions (PMID: 14574646). This variant is present in population databases (rs199422165, gnomAD 0.006%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1599*) 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). -
