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]

ASPM Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• microcephaly 5, primary, autosomal recessive

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE, STRONG Submitted by: Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), G2P
• autosomal recessive primary microcephaly

  Inheritance: AR Classification: STRONG, SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet, ClinGen

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 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 1-197143278-CTA-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-197143278-CTA-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 438588.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asn324Lysfs*5) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of primary microcephaly (PMID: 29706646). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 438588). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
