摘要: Using whole-exome sequencing, we have identified in ten families 14 individuals with microcephaly, developmental delay, intellectual disability, hypotonia, spasticity, seizures, sensorineural hearing loss, cortical visual impairment, and rare autosomal-recessive predicted pathogenic variants spermatogenesis-associated protein 5 (SPATA5). SPATA5 encodes a ubiquitously expressed member of the ATPase associated diverse activities (AAA) family is involved mitochondrial morphogenesis during early spermatogenesis. It might also play role post-translational modification cell differentiation neuronal development. Mutations affect brain development function, resulting disability.
