Mendeliome v2.0 MELK Gene migrated from ENSG00000165304 to ENSG00000165304 (gene set migration)
Mendeliome v1.4918 MELK Zornitza Stark changed review comment from: PMID 41973119 reports four unrelated individuals from four families each carrying a heterozygous loss‑of‑function MELK variant (stop‑gain or start‑loss) and presenting with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Mouse cortex MELK knockdown replicates cortical progenitor defects, and the authors propose MELK haploinsufficiency as a rare risk factor for ASD.

Parental segregation information lacking. One of the variants is present in 10 hets in gnomAD.
