Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points: 0P and 0B.
The NM_003193.5(TBCE):c.1577_1578delGAinsAG(p.Arg526Gln) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type MNV, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely benign in ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R526R) has been classified as Likely benign.
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]
B3GALNT2 (HGNC:28596): (beta-1,3-N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 2) This gene encodes a member of the glycosyltransferase 31 family. The encoded protein synthesizes GalNAc:beta-1,3GlcNAc, a novel carbohydrate structure, on N- and O-glycans. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2013]
