Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PP2 PP3 BS2

The NM_006000.3(TUBA4A):​c.643C>T​(p.Arg215Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000547 in 1,461,894 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R215S) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

TUBA4A (HGNC:12407): (tubulin alpha 4a) Microtubules of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton perform essential and diverse functions and are composed of a heterodimer of alpha and beta tubulin. The genes encoding these microtubule constituents are part of 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 and they are highly conserved among and between species. This gene encodes an alpha tubulin that is a highly conserved homolog of a rat testis-specific alpha tubulin. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points.

• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 6 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 1 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.3027 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 4.9936 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to autosomal dominant macrothrombocytopenia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 22.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.837
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 8 AD,Unknown gene.
