Abstract excerpt
Primary microcephaly (MCPH) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by head circumference of at least two standard deviations below the mean. Biallelic variants in the kinetochore gene KNL1 is a known cause of MCPH4. KNL1 is the central component of the KNL1-MIS12-NSL1 (KMN) network, which acts as the signaling hub of the kinetochore and is required for correct chromosomal segregation during mitosis. We...
