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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -5 ACMG points.

BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000046 (7/152178) while in subpopulation NFE AF = 0.0000882 (6/67992). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0000376. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 4 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 7 AD gene.
