Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the TUBB2A gene is commonly pathogenic or not.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

• Function: FUNCTION: Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. It binds two moles of GTP, one at an exchangeable site on the beta chain and one at a non-exchangeable site on the alpha chain (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Cortical dysplasia, complex, with other brain malformations 5 (CDCBM5) [MIM:615763]: A disorder of aberrant neuronal migration and disturbed axonal guidance. Clinical features include seizures, global developmental delay, and various brain malformations such as a diffuse simplified gyral pattern with reduced volume of white matter, globular basal ganglia, thin and dysmorphic corpus callosum, mild brainstem hypoplasia with a flat pons, mild cerebellar vermis hypoplasia, and mildly enlarged posterior fossa. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24702957}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
