Preferred Label : Microcephaly 5, primary, autosomal recessive;
Symbol : MCPH5;
CISMeF acronym : MCPH5;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Autosomal recessive primary microcephaly-5 (MCPH5) is characterized by decreased occipital-frontal
(OFC) circumference, usually less than 3 standard deviations (SD) of the mean, present
at birth and associated with mental retardation and speech delay. Other features may
include short stature or mild seizures. MCPH5 is associated with a simplification
of the cerebral cortical gyral pattern in some cases, which is considered within the
phenotypic spectrum of primary microcephaly (review by Woods et al., 2005; Saadi et
al., 2009; Passemard et al., 2009). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion
of genetic heterogeneity of primary microcephaly (MCPH), see MCPH1 (251200).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the abnormal spindle-like, microcephaly-associated gene (ASPM,
605481.0001);
