Relevance to Autism
A rare mutation in the TUBGCP5 gene has been identified in an individual with ASD (Sanders et al., 2012). In addition, a rare TUBGCP5 deletion was found in a patient with PDD-NOS and mild intellectual disability (Leblond et al., 2012).
Molecular Function
The Gamma-tubulin complex is necessary for microtubule nucleation at the centrosome.
