Genes affected

TUBB1 (HGNC:16257): (tubulin beta 1 class VI) This gene encodes a 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 specifically expressed in platelets and megakaryocytes and may be involved in proplatelet production and platelet release. A mutations in this gene is associated with autosomal dominant macrothrombocytopenia. Two pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosome Y.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

Variant summary: TUBB1 c.35delG (p.Cys12LeufsX12) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 251248 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.35delG has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with congenital hypothyroidism or inherited platelet disorders (Stoupa_2018, Bastida_2018). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34662886, 28983057, 32757236, 30446499). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 586966). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys12Leufs*12) in the TUBB1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. However, the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in TUBB1 cause disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs773248042, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with thrombocytopenia and/or TUBB1-related macrothrombocytopenia (PMID: 28983057, 30446499, 32757236, 34516618). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 586966). In 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. -

The TUBB1 c.35delG variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Cys12Leufs*12). This variant has been reported in an individual with thyroid dysgenesis, and the variant was inherited from a parent with mild thyroid asymmetry but with normal thyroid function (Stoupa et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30446499). This variant has also been reported in an individual with an inherited platelet disorder (Bastida et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 28983057) and an individual with nonsyndromic thrombocytopenia (Guéguen et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32757236). This variant is reported in 0.0062% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/20-57594611-TG-T). Although we suspect that this variant may be pathogenic, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
