Autosomal recessive primary microcephaly is genetically heterogeneous and 7 loci have been reported to date. Mutations in ASPM (abnormal spindle-like, microcephaly associated) gene are the most common cause of autosomal recessive primary microcephaly in the majority of the reported families. In the current investigation, we have located and studied 21 families with autosomal recessive primary microcephaly. Genotyping using polymorphic microsatellite markers linked to 7 autosomal recessive primary microcephaly loci revealed linkage of 18 families to the MCPH5 locus. Sequence analysis of the ASPM gene in 18 linked families detected 2 novel nonsense mutations (c.2101C&gt;T\/p.Q701X; c.9492T&gt;G\/p.Y3164X) in 2 families and 2 novel deletion mutations (c.6686delGAAA\/p.R2229TfsX9; c.77delG\/p.G26AfsX41) in 2 other families. Three previously described mutations (c.3978G&gt;A\/p.W1326X; c.1260delTCAAGTC\/p.S420SfsX32; c.9159delA\/p.K3053NfsX4) were also detected in 11 families. These identified mutations extended the body of evidence implicating the ASPM gene in the pathogenesis of human hereditary primary microcephaly.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0883073809346850","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,7]],"date-time":"2009-10-07T00:09:31Z","timestamp":1254874171000},"page":"715-720","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Mutation Analysis of the\n                    <i>ASPM<\/i>\n                    Gene in 18 Pakistani Families With Autosomal Recessive Primary Microcephaly"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Rizwana","family":"Kousar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hira","family":"Nawaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maryam","family":"Khurshid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ghazanfer","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pakistan Medical and Research Council, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saad Ullah","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hina","family":"Mir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Ayub","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdul","family":"Wali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nadir","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Musharraf","family":"Jelani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sulman","family":"Basit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wasim","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Ansar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Biological Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan,"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,10,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00019052-200104000-00003"},{"key":"atypb2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/341283"},{"key":"atypb3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ng1539"},{"key":"atypb4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ng995"},{"key":"atypb5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajhg.2009.01.017"},{"key":"atypb6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/429930"},{"key":"atypb7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jmg.2008.062380"},{"key":"atypb8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejmg.2009.03.013"},{"key":"atypb9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.a.32749"},{"issue":"2","key":"atypb10","first-page":"105","volume":"7","author":"Gul A.","year":"2006","journal-title":"Novel sequence variants in ASPM gene.
