Relevance to Autism

Studies have found rare variants in the MCPH1 gene that are associated with autism (e.g. Ozgen et al., 2009; Neale et al., 2012).

Molecular Function

This protein is implicated in chromosome condensation and DNA damage induced cellular responses. May play a role in neurogenesis and regulation of the size of the cerebral cortex.
