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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jun 13, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 157898). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with primary autosomal recessive microcephaly (PMID: 23611254). This variant is present in population databases (rs587783283, gnomAD 0.01%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln2904Argfs*15) 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). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Apr 16, 2015	The c.8711_8712delAA mutation in the ASPM gene has been reported previously as a homozygous mutation in an individual with primary autosomal recessive microcephaly (MCPH) (Tan et al., 2014). The deletion causes a frameshift starting with codon Glutamine 2904, changes this amino acid to an Arginine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 15 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Gln2904ArgfsX15. This mutation is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. -
