Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_178012.5(TUBB2B):​c.728C>T​(p.Pro243Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. P243P) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

TUBB2B (HGNC:30829): (tubulin beta 2B class IIb) The protein encoded by this gene is a beta isoform of tubulin, which binds GTP and is a major component of microtubules. This gene is highly similar to TUBB2A and TUBB2C. Defects in this gene are a cause of asymmetric polymicrogyria. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 5 uncertain in NM_178012.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the TUBB2B gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 45 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 2 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 5.1195 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 6.9522 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to tubulinopathy-associated dysgyria, congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles, complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations 7, complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations, cerebellar ataxia, intellectual disability, and dysequilibrium.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.967
• PP5: Variant 6-3225361-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr6-3225361-G-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 495257.
