Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the TUBB6 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000032525.3. Only rare variants are included in the table.

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. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P02557}.
• Disease: DISEASE: Facial palsy, congenital, with ptosis and velopharyngeal dysfunction (FPVEPD) [MIM:617732]: An autosomal dominant congenital disorder characterized by non-progressive bilateral facial palsy, velopharyngeal dysfunction presenting with varying degrees of hypomimia, rhinophonia and impaired gag reflex, and bilateral ptosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29016863}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
