Genes affected
TUBA8 (HGNC:12410): (tubulin alpha 8) This gene encodes a member of the alpha tubulin protein family. Alpha tubulins are one of two core protein families (alpha and beta tubulins) that heterodimerize and assemble to form microtubules. Mutations in this gene are associated with polymicrogyria and optic nerve hypoplasia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the TUBA8 gene. The G365R variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The G365R variant is observed in 4/66038 (0.01%) alleles from individuals of European background, in the ExAC dataset (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The G365R variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species, and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. However, missense variants in nearby residues have not been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with TUBA8 (Stenson et al., 2014). Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 365 of the TUBA8 protein (p.Gly365Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs142396178, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TUBA8-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 235703). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1093G>A (p.G365R) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the TUBA8 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1093, causing the glycine (G) at amino acid position 365 to be replaced by an arginine (R). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
