Description

Aims: Autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH) is a clinically rare and genetically highly heterogeneous developmental disorder. Biallelic variants in the abnormal spindle-like microcephaly-associated (ASPM) gene account for 40% to 68% of all MCPH cases. This study was designed to elucidate the genetic basis of MCPH in an extended family To highlight recurrent mutations useful in implementing genetic testing programs, we further aimed to carry out a descriptive review of the reported ASPM mutations.
