WD repeat-containing protein 62 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WDR62 gene.[1][2]

Clinical relevance

Mutations in the WDR62 gene cause of a wide spectrum of severe cerebral cortical malformations including microcephaly,[3] pachygyria with cortical thickening, hypoplasia of the corpus callosum[1], polymicrogyria as well as microlissencephaly.[4]

In 2018 Xu et al showed that WDR62 stability and neurogenesis is regulated by MEKK3 in coordination with FBW7 (F-box and WD repeat domain-containing protein 7).[5]
