The CDK5RAP2 c.4005-1G>A variant (rs587783387, ClinVar Variation ID:158146) has been detected in the compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals affected with primary microcephaly (Dawidziuk 2021, Tan 2014). This variant is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.005% (12/251,470 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). This variant disrupts the canonical splice acceptor site of intron 26, which is likely to negatively impact gene function. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic.

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 26 of the CDK5RAP2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in CDK5RAP2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15793586, 20460369, 26436113). This variant is present in population databases (rs587783387, gnomAD 0.01%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with CDK5RAP2-related conditions (PMID: 23726037). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 158146). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
