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 testing3billionJan 03, 2022Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant (PVS1_VS). It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.000004, PM2_M). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000021635, PMID:17849285). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 09, 2022This variant is present in population databases (rs199422195, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg3244*) 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). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with primary microcephaly (PMID: 17849285). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21635). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxAug 08, 2016The R3244X nonsense variant in the ASPM gene has been reported previously as a homozygous variant in multiple affected individuals in a family with MCPH (Gul et al., 2007). This pathogenic variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. -
