Genes affected

MCPH1 (HGNC:6954): (microcephalin 1) This gene encodes a DNA damage response protein. The encoded protein may play a role in G2/M checkpoint arrest via maintenance of inhibitory phosphorylation of cyclin-dependent kinase 1. Mutations in this gene have been associated with primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 1 and premature chromosome condensation syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

Significance:Likely pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

A c.1974-2 A>G variant that is likely pathogenic has been identified in the MCPH1 gene. The c.1974-2 A>G variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. It was not observed in approximately 6,000 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project. However, the 1000 Genomes Project reports this variant was observed in 2/186 (1%) alleles from individuals of Chinese background. The c.1974-2 A>G splice site variant in the MCPH1 gene destroys the canonical splice acceptor site in intron 10. It is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, either leading to an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, or to an abnormal protein product if the message is used for protein translation. However, in the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown. Therefore, this variant is likely pathogenic; however, the possibility that it is benign cannot be excluded. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 10 of the MCPH1 gene. However, it is currently unclear if variants that occur in this region of the gene cause disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs541042265, gnomAD 0.2%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with MCPH1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 420681). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
