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 12 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 1-197101585-CTT-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-197101585-CTT-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 996097.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

This ASPM variant is absent in a large population dataset and has not been reported in the literature to our knowledge. This 2-bp deletion results in a frameshift in exon 18 of 28 that is predicted to introduce a premature termination codon (PTC), likely leading to nonsense-mediated decay and lack of protein production. An alternate frameshift variant (c.7665del) at this position was reported to be associated with primary microcephaly-5. We consider c.7664_7665del to be pathogenic. -
