Genes affected
TUBB3 (HGNC:20772): (tubulin beta 3 class III) This gene encodes a class III member of the beta tubulin protein family. Beta tubulins are one of two core protein families (alpha and beta tubulins) that heterodimerize and assemble to form microtubules. This protein is primarily expressed in neurons and may be involved in neurogenesis and axon guidance and maintenance. Mutations in this gene are the cause of congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles type 3. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -13 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.66).
BP6
Variant 16-89933462-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr16-89933462-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 160190.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000328 (50/152302) while in subpopulation AMR AF = 0.000458 (7/15298). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000215. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 26 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 50 AD gene.
