Genes affected

WDR62 (HGNC:24502): (WD repeat domain 62) This gene is proposed to play a role in cerebral cortical development. Mutations in this gene have been associated with microencephaly, cortical malformations, and cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Experimental studies have shown that this missense change disrupts WDR62 protein-protein interactions and sub-cellular localization, both in cells derived from affected individuals and in cell culture expression studies (PMID: 20890279, 24228726, 25501809, 26713495). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant has been reported in several individuals affected with primary microcephaly (PMID: 20890279, 219661505, 22775483, 24228726) and segregates with disease in at least one family (PMID: 10573015, 20890279). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 31035). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine with histidine at codon 438 of the WDR62 protein (p.Arg438His). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between arginine and histidine. -
