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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 1-197102122-G-GCAGT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-197102122-G-GCAGT is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 157864.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Collection Method: clinical testing

This ASPM variant (rs587783263 ) is rare (<0.1%) in a large population dataset (gnomAD v4.0.0: 4/1461022 total alleles; 0.0003%; no homozygotes). It has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 157864), but has not been reported in the literature in individuals known to be affected with microcephaly and having biallelic ASPM variants, to our knowledge. This frameshift variant results in a premature stop codon in exon 18 of 28, likely leading to nonsense-mediated decay and lack of protein production. We consider c.7125_7128dup in ASPM to be pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln2377Thrfs*26) 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 variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with microcephaly (PMID: 31069529). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 157864). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
