How can you use “aspm” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

In 2002, mutations in the genes ASPM (abnormal spindle-like microcephaly associated) and microcephalin were identified as two causes of microcephaly.
Both Lahn and Walsh believe that ASPM and microcephalin may be only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to genes that have helped to shape our brains.
However, he warns, as with ASPM and microcephalin , “definitive proof for this will only come from functional studies, which are difficult to do”.
But, cautions Walsh, “we really have no idea yet how or even if ASPM is involved in brain evolution”.
ASPM encodes a protein involved in spindle formation, so it is tempting to think that changes in its sequence might result in an increased rate of cell division and hence brain size.
