microcephaly type 5, primary, autosomal recessive

An autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (OMIM:608716) characterised by a disproportionately small brain and cerebral cortex, with a well-preserved gyral pattern and no major defects in cortical architecture. Microcephaly is defined by a head circumference ≥ 3 standard deviations below the age-related mean; primary microcephaly is further defined by the absence of other syndromic features or significant neurological deficits.

Molecular pathology
Caused by defects of ASPM, which encodes a protein required for normal mitotic spindle function in embryonic neuroblasts.

Mutations in the ASPM gene, linked to MCPH5 (#605481), are reported to be the most common genetic cause for MCPH (68.6%) (Zaquot et al., 2017).

Therefore, the ASPM gene is involved in determining cerebral cortical size during development and linked to primary autosomal recessive microcephaly type 5 (MCPH5; (#605481)).

The linkage at MCPH5 locus was established in family B, associated earlier in causing microcephaly with mutation in ASPM gene.

Microcephalin which corresponds to MCPH1, WDR62 (WD repeat-containing protein 62) at MCPH2, CDK5RAP2 (CDK5 regulatory subunit-associated protein 2) at MCPH3, CEP152 (centrosomal protein, 152-KD) at MCPH4, ASPM (abnormal spindle like microcephaly associated) at MCPH5, CENPJ (centromeric protein J) at MCPH6 and STIL corresponding to MCPH7.4 Mutations at any of these loci are indistinguishable clinically.4
