Any Seckel syndrome in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the CEP152 gene.
Features include always present findings: Sloping forehead, Short stature, Intellectual disability, and Clinodactyly of the 5th finger and others; and very common findings: Selective tooth agenesis, 11 pairs of ribs, and High palate. 30 total HPO annotations.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Head and neck | 4 | High palate, Cleft palate, Microcephaly |
CEP152 encodes centrosomal protein 152 (1,710 aa). Necessary for centrosome duplication; the function also seems to involve CEP63, CDK5RAP2 and WDR62 through a stepwise assembled complex at the centrosome that recruits CDK2 required for centriole duplication. Highest expression in Cells EBV-transformed lymphocytes (17.6 TPM) and Testis (15.1 TPM).
Seckel syndrome 5 is associated with mutations in the CEP152 gene on chromosome 15.
CEP152 is classified as a druggable target with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for CEP152 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Phenotype severity distribution: 7 always present features, 3 very common features, 8 common features.
No clinical trials have been registered for Seckel syndrome 5.
6 publications have been identified in PubMed for Seckel syndrome 5. Research spans Case Report / Case Series (67%) and Basic Science / Preclinical (33%).
