Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_018136.5(ASPM):c.7128_7129insACTG(p.Gln2377ThrfsTer26) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000274 in 1,461,022 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L2376L) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Johns Hopkins Genomics, Johns Hopkins University	Nov 15, 2023	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. -
