Hitherto, over 30 MCPH causing genes ( MCPHs ) have been identified. Among these MCPHs , MCPH5 , which encodes abnormal spindle-like microcephaly-associated protein (ASPM), is the most frequently mutated gene. ASPM regulates mitotic events, cell proliferation, replication stress response, DNA repair, and tumorigenesis. Moreover, using a data mining approach, we have confirmed that high levels of expression of ASPM correlate with poor prognosis in several types of tumors. Here, we summarize the neurological and non-neurological functions of ASPM and provide insight into its implications for the diagnosis and treatment of MCPH and cancer. 4950 https://doi.org/10.3389/fnins.2023.1242448$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://www.db-thueringen.de/receive/dbt_mods_00058448 5051 570 5550 ASPM 5550 cancer 5550 MCPH5 5550 microcephaly 5550 neurogenesis 5550 small brain
