Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 19 ACMG points: 19P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_006087.4(TUBB4A):​c.730G>A​(p.Gly244Ser) 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 Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G244D) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

TUBB4A (HGNC:20774): (tubulin beta 4A class IVa) This gene encodes a member of the beta tubulin family. Beta tubulins are one of two core protein families (alpha and beta tubulins) that heterodimerize and assemble to form microtubules. Mutations in this gene cause hypomyelinating leukodystrophy-6 and autosomal dominant torsion dystonia-4. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 19 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 4 uncertain in NM_006087.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr19-6495769-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 803516.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), TUBB4A. . Gene score misZ 4.2623 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 5.1229 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with torsion dystonia 4, TUBB4A-related neurologic disorder, hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 6.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.969
• PP5: Variant 19-6495769-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-6495769-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 267772.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 6 Pathogenic:1 Other:1

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jul 17, 2023	Variant summary: TUBB4A c.730G>A (p.Gly244Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the GTPase domain (IPR003008) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251384 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.730G>A has been reported in the literature in at least five individuals affected with Hypomyelinating Leukodystrophy, including several de novo occurrences (e.g., Hamilton_2014, Carvalho_2015, Gavazzi_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34514881, 24785942, 25168210). No submitters have reported clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
