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 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). -
