Cellular processes disrupted in neural progenitor cells by microcephaly mutations in centrosomal proteins. Mutations in genes that encode centrosome proteins have been proposed to cause microcephaly through several mechanisms. This includes deregulating of cell cycle progression, altering spindle orientation, increasing the frequency of chromosome missegregation, disrupting asymmetric centrosome inheritance, and delaying mitotic spindle assembly.
