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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• 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, cerebellar ataxia, intellectual disability, and dysequilibrium, complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations 7, complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.776
• PP5: Variant 6-3225218-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr6-3225218-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 437125.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The heterozygous p.Gln291Lys variant in TUBB2B was identified by our study in one individual with cortical dysplasia, complex, with other brain malformations 7. Trio exome analysis showed this variant to be de novo. This variant was found to be de novo in 1 individual with confirmed paternity and maternity (PMID: 29671837), but was absent from large population studies. This variant has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 437125) and has been interpreted as likely pathogenic by University of Chicago Genetic Services Laboratory and University of Washington Center for Mendelian Genomics. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. The number of missense variants reported in TUBB2B in the general population is lower than expected, suggesting there is little benign variation in this gene and slightly increasing the possibility that a missense variant in this gene may not be tolerated. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant cortical dysplasia, complex, with other brain malformations 7. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS2, PM2_Supporting, PP3, PP2 (Richards 2015). -
