Entrez Gene summary for WDR62 Gene:

This gene is proposed to play a role in cerebral cortical development. Mutations in this gene have been associated

with microencephaly, cortical malformations, and mental retardation. Alternative splicing results in multiple

transcript variants. (provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011)

GeneCards Summary for WDR62 Gene:

WDR62 (WD repeat domain 62) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with WDR62 include microcephaly, primary autosomal recessive, and primary autosomal recessive microcephaly type 2. An important paralog of this gene is MAPKBP1.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: WDR62_HUMAN, O43379

Function: Required for cerebral cortical development. Plays a role in neuronal proliferation and migration

Microcephaly 2, primary, autosomal recessive, with or without cortical malformations (MCPH2)

[MIM:604317]: A disease characterized by microcephaly, moderate to severe mental retardation, and various type of

cortical malformations in most patients. Microcephaly is defined as a head circumference more than 3 standard

deviations below the age-related mean. Cortical malformations include pachygyria with cortical thickening,

microgyria, lissencephaly, hypoplasia of the corpus callosum, schizencephaly. All affected individuals have

delayed psychomotor development. Some patients have seizures. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting

the gene represented in this entry
