aa, amino acids.

*These are the same 7 base pair deletion mutation. †c.3811C>T has been found in a total of 3 out of 5 Dutch families with MCPH.

Bold face indicates MCPH associated with epileptic fits.

The position of each mutation is given as the number of bases from the start codon of the reference sequence NM_018136.3.
