Summaries for WDR62 Gene

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 2, Primary, Autosomal Recessive, With Or Without Cortical Malformations and Autosomal Recessive Primary Microcephaly. An important paralog of this gene is CFAP52.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for WDR62 Gene

  • Required for cerebral cortical development. Plays a role in neuronal proliferation and migration (PubMed:20890278, PubMed:20729831). Plays a role in mother-centriole-dependent centriole duplication; the function seems also to involve CEP152, CDK5RAP2 and CEP63 through a stepwise assembled complex at the centrosome that recruits CDK2 required for centriole duplication (PubMed:26297806).

  • 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. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:20729831, ECO:0000269 PubMed:20890278, ECO:0000269 PubMed:20890279, ECO:0000269 PubMed:21496009}.
