CSPP1

Chr 8AR

centrosome and spindle pole associated protein 1

Also known as: CSPP, CSPP-L, JBTS21

The encoded protein is a centrosome and spindle pole associated protein required for cilia formation, cell-cycle progression, and spindle organization. Mutations cause Joubert syndrome 21, a ciliopathy characterized by cerebellar vermis hypoplasia, developmental delay, and distinctive brainstem malformation. This condition follows autosomal recessive inheritance and has a GeneReviews entry available for detailed clinical guidance.
