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]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of primary microcephaly (PMID: 23611254). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg3304*) 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 present in population databases (rs587783295, gnomAD 0.03%). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 157918). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.9910C>T (p.R3304*) alteration, located in exon 25 (coding exon 25) of the ASPM gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 9910. This changes the amino acid from an arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 3304. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.004% (9/250346) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.026% (9/34510) of Latino alleles. This variant has been identified in conjunction with another ASPM variant in at least one individual, but clinical details were limited (Tan, 2014). Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
