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 1-197102089-CAG-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-197102089-CAG-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 157867.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 157867). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ASPM-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs587783266, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser2387Cysfs*14) 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). -

Variant summary: ASPM c.7160_7161delCT (p.Ser2387CysfsX14) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which is a commonly known mechanism for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 250328 control chromosomes (gnomAD). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.7160_7161delCT in individuals affected with Primary microcephaly and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. One submitter has cited a clinical-significance assessment for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and has classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The ASPM c.7160_7161delCT variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Ser2387Cysfs*14). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. It is reported in 0.0033% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. Frameshift variants in ASPM are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
