Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Moderate
The NM_003193.5(TBCE):c.841C>T(p.Gln281*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Q281Q) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
TBCE (HGNC:11582): (tubulin folding cofactor E) Cofactor E is one of four proteins (cofactors A, D, E, and C) involved in the pathway leading to correctly folded beta-tubulin from folding intermediates. Cofactors A and D are believed to play a role in capturing and stabilizing beta-tubulin intermediates in a quasi-native confirmation. Cofactor E binds to the cofactor D/beta-tubulin complex; interaction with cofactor C then causes the release of beta-tubulin polypeptides that are committed to the native state. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln281*) in the TBCE gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in TBCE are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 27666369, 34134906, 34356170). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TBCE-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 591464). -
