- Abstract:
- To investigate the genetic factor responsible for causing microcephaly and determine allelic heterogeneity of Abnormal spindle microtubule gene. The genetic study was conducted at the Kohat University of Science and Technology, Kohat, and Gomal University, D.I.Khan, Pakistan, during 2017-18, and comprised 5 consanguineous families from South Waziristan, Kurram Agency, Karak, Bannu and Dera Ismail Khan regions of the country's Khyber Pakhtukhwa province. Blood samples from all available and cooperative family members (including normal and affected) were obtained, and molecular analysis was carried out through whole genome single nucleotide polymorphisms genotyping, exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing. Of the 15 patients, 9(60%) were males and 6(40%) were females. Genetic mapping revealed linkage to the MCPH5 locus which harbours the microcephaly-associated abnormal spindle-like microcephaly gene. Mutation analysis of the gene identified missense mutation c.3978G>A (p.Trp1326*) in families A, B and C, a deletion mutation c.7782_7783delGA (p.(Lys2595Serfs*6)) in family D, and a splice site defect c.2936+5G>A in family E. There was suggestion of strong founder effect of mutation c.3978G>A (p.Trp1326*).
