Genes affected

TUBA1A (HGNC:20766): (tubulin alpha 1a) Microtubules of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton perform essential and diverse functions and are composed of a heterodimer of alpha and beta tubulins. The genes encoding these microtubule constituents belong to the tubulin superfamily, which is composed of six distinct families. Genes from the alpha, beta and gamma tubulin families are found in all eukaryotes. The alpha and beta tubulins represent the major components of microtubules, while gamma tubulin plays a critical role in the nucleation of microtubule assembly. There are multiple alpha and beta tubulin genes, which are highly conserved among species. This gene encodes alpha tubulin and is highly similar to the mouse and rat Tuba1 genes. Northern blot studies have shown that the gene expression is predominantly found in morphologically differentiated neurologic cells. This gene is one of three alpha-tubulin genes in a cluster on chromosome 12q. Mutations in this gene cause lissencephaly type 3 (LIS3) - a neurological condition characterized by microcephaly, intellectual disability, and early-onset epilepsy caused by defective neuronal migration. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

not provided Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jun 03, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Arg422 amino acid residue in TUBA1A. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with TUBA1A-related conditions (PMID: 18728072), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 7077). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with cortical malformations (PMID: 18728072, 20466733, 26350204, 29671837). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 422 of the TUBA1A protein (p.Arg422His). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Oct 23, 2021	Not observed in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Missense variants in this gene are often considered pathogenic (HGMD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21875651, 25059107, 24860126, 22264709, 18669490, 29671837, 20466733, 26350204, 18954413, 20376468, 22948023, 18728072, 33453472, 30744660) -
