Molecular analysis of 23 Pakistani families with autosomal recessive primary microcephaly using targeted next-generation sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

Primary microcephaly is genetically heterogeneous, with most cases showing autosomal recessive inheritance. We designed a panel containing 46 primary microcephaly-causing genes and performed mutation screening in 23 Pakistani families with autosomal recessive primary microcephaly. We found mutations that were pathogenic or likely to be pathogenic in 22 families, including 18 families with known mutations in ASPM,...
