Genes affected
TUBA4B (HGNC:18637): (tubulin alpha 4b) Predicted to enable GTP binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in microtubule cytoskeleton organization and mitotic cell cycle. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and microtubule. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
TUBA4A (HGNC:12407): (tubulin alpha 4a) Microtubules of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton perform essential and diverse functions and are composed of a heterodimer of alpha and beta tubulin. The genes encoding these microtubule constituents are part of 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 and they are highly conserved among and between species. This gene encodes an alpha tubulin that is a highly conserved homolog of a rat testis-specific alpha tubulin. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2013]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -14 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.85).
BP6
Variant 2-219254033-G-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr2-219254033-G-T is described in ClinVar as Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 1181267.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00515 (783/152180) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.0179 (745/41542). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0169. There are 11 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 364 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 11 gene
