Mutations in a number of genes related to chromosomal segregation reportedly cause developmental disorders, e.g., chromosome alignment-maintaining phosphoprotein 1 ( CHAMP1 ). We report on an 8-year-old Japanese girl who presented with a developmental disorder and microcephaly and carries a novel nonsense mutation in CHAMP1 . Therefore, CHAMP1 mutation should be considered as a differential diagnosis of global developmental delay and microcephaly.
