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] as well as polymicrogyria.[4]
