Genes affected
TUBA8 (HGNC:12410): (tubulin alpha 8) This gene encodes a member of the alpha tubulin protein family. Alpha tubulins are one of two core protein families (alpha and beta tubulins) that heterodimerize and assemble to form microtubules. Mutations in this gene are associated with polymicrogyria and optic nerve hypoplasia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.043703705 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 7.5, offset of -29, new splice context is: gagGTgcgc. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMay 03, 2021In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with TUBA8-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs775244571, ExAC 0.3%). This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 1 of the TUBA8 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), however the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in TUBA8 cause disease. -
