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]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 11 ACMG points.

PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.948
PP5
Variant 20-59024379-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr20-59024379-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 425.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr20-59024379-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeMay 07, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 318 of the TUBB1 protein (p.Arg318Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs121918555, gnomAD 0.06%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of TUBB1-related macrothrombocytopenia (PMID: 18849486, 31064749, 33400601). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 425). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available"). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TUBB1 function (PMID: 18849486). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
