Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_018136.5(ASPM):c.1138C>T(p.Gln380*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

The homozygous p.Gln380Ter variant in ASPM was identified by our study in 2 siblings with autosomal recessive primary microcephaly 5. The variant has been reported in 1 Middle Eastern individual with autosomal recessive primary microcephaly 5 (PMID: 23611254), but was absent from large population studies. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 157777) as pathogenic by Genetic Services Laboratory, University of Chicago and Biochemical Molecular Genetic Laboratory, King Abdulaziz Medical City, and as likely pathogenic by Developmental Genetics Unit, King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 380, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the ASPM gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive primary microcephaly 5. The presence of this variant in at least 2 homozygotes, and in 2 individuals with autosomal recessive primary microcephaly 5 increases the likelihood that the p.Gln380Ter variant is pathogenic (PMID: 23611254). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive primary microcephaly 5 based on the predicted impact of the variant, its absence from control populations, and its homozygous appearance in 3 affected individuals. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PM3 (Richards 2015). -
