Genes affected

TUBB3 (HGNC:20772): (tubulin beta 3 class III) This gene encodes a class III 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 primarily expressed in neurons and may be involved in neurogenesis and axon guidance and maintenance. Mutations in this gene are the cause of congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles type 3. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 15 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the TUBB3 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 6 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 4.5786 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 5.665 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to tubulinopathy-associated dysgyria, complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations 1, congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles, fibrosis of extraocular muscles, congenital, 3A, with or without extraocular involvement.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.995
• PP5: Variant 16-89935235-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-89935235-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 6963.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 262 of the TUBB3 protein (p.Arg262Cys). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between arginine and cysteine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles type 3 (PMID: 20074521, 29453417). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as p.Arg190Cys. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6963). Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects TUBB3 protein function (PMID: 20074521). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0104 - Dominant negative is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles 3A (MIM#600638) (PMID: 31219644). (I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from arginine to cysteine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0603 - Missense variant in a region that is highly intolerant to missense variation (high constraint region in DECIPHER). (SP) 0704 - Another missense variant comparable to the one identified in this case has previous evidence for pathogenicity (ClinVar). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This is a recurrent pathogenic variant associated with the milder form of congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles (ClinVar, PMID: 20074521, 32573066). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
