Genes affected
TUBA1A (HGNC:20766): (tubulin alpha 1a) Microtubules of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton perform essential and diverse functions and are composed of a heterodimer of alpha and beta tubulins. The genes encoding these microtubule constituents belong to the tubulin superfamily, which is composed of six distinct families. Genes from the alpha, beta and gamma tubulin families are found in all eukaryotes. The alpha and beta tubulins represent the major components of microtubules, while gamma tubulin plays a critical role in the nucleation of microtubule assembly. There are multiple alpha and beta tubulin genes, which are highly conserved among species. This gene encodes alpha tubulin and is highly similar to the mouse and rat Tuba1 genes. Northern blot studies have shown that the gene expression is predominantly found in morphologically differentiated neurologic cells. This gene is one of three alpha-tubulin genes in a cluster on chromosome 12q. Mutations in this gene cause lissencephaly type 3 (LIS3) - a neurological condition characterized by microcephaly, intellectual disability, and early-onset epilepsy caused by defective neuronal migration. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 402 of the TUBA1A protein (p.Arg402His). This variant disrupts the p.Arg402 amino acid residue in TUBA1A. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 20466733, 20603323, 30517687). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt TUBA1A protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TUBA1A function (PMID: 20603323, 30517687). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with lissencephaly (PMID: 17218254, 20466733, 22408144, 24510153). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 7071). -
