Variant summary: TBCK c.376C>T (p.Arg126X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.7e-05 in 142542 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in TBCK causing Hypotonia, infantile, with psychomotor retardation and characteristic facies 3 (7.7e-05 vs 0.0011). c.376C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals, predominantly of Puerto Rican descent (in compound heterozygous or homozygous state) affected with Hypotonia, infantile, with psychomotor retardation and characteristic facies 3 (Chong_2016, Bhoj_2016, Ortiz-Gonzlez_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Chong_2016 reports the variant perturbs the levels of both major TBCK protein isoforms in fibroblasts. Five ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
This variant was determined to be pathogenic according to ACMG Guidelines, 2015 [PMID:25741868]. -
The p.Arg126Ter variant in TBCK has been reported in at least 10 individuals with TBCK-related intellectual disability syndrome (PMID: 27040692, 27040691, 29283439, 31618753; DOI: 10.1055:s-0039-1684016), segregated with disease in 2 affected relatives from 2 families, and has been identified in 0.1% (53/47944) of Latino/Admixed American chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs575822089). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 225235) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by many submitters. Of the many affected individuals, at least eight of those were homozygotes, which increases the likelihood that the p.Arg126Ter variant is pathogenic (Variation ID: 27040692, 27040691, 29283439). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Arg126Ter variant may impact protein function (PMID: 27040692, 29283439, 34816123). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 126, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the TBCK gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive TBCK-related intellectual disability syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive TBCK-related intellectual disability syndrome. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM3_strong, PS3_moderate, PP1 (Richards 2015). -
The c.376C>T (p.Arg126Ter) variant identified in the TBCK gene results in the premature termination of the protein at amino acid 126/894 (coding exon 4/26). This is predicted to lead to the termination of the protein within the protein kinase domain and result in the absence of Rab-GAP TBC and RHOD domains. This variant is found with low frequency in gnomAD (13 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes; allele frequency: 7.48e-5) suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in this database. This variant is reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar (VarID:225235), and has been reported in more than 10 affected individuals in the literature [PMID:27040692; PMID:27040691; PMID:29283439; PMID:31618753] in both homozygosity [PMID:27040692; PMID:27040691; PMID:29283439] and in compound heterozygosity with a second pathogenic variant [PMID:27040691; PMID:29283439]. Functional studies suggest this variant leads to increased levels of autophagic flux. This variant was identifed in homozygosity in an individual submitted for clinical WGS. Given the deleterious nature of the homozygous c.376C>T (p.Arg126Ter) variant identified in this individual, its low frequency in population databases, and the observation in many affected individuals in the literature, it is reported here as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg126*) in the TBCK gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in TBCK are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 27040692, 30103036). This variant is present in population databases (rs575822089, gnomAD 0.03%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with TBCK-related severe infantile syndromic encephalopathy or TBCK-related intellectual disability and hypotonia syndrome (PMID: 27040691, 27040692). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 225235). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.376C>T (p.R126*) alteration, located in exon 4 (coding exon 3) of the TBCK gene, consists of a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 376. This changes the amino acid from a Arginine (R) to a stop codon at amino acid position 126. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.007% (13/173798) total alleles studied. This alteration has been described in the homozygous state and compound heterozygous with a second TBCK variant in multiple unrelated individuals, primarily of Puerto Rican descent (Bhoj, 2016; Chong, 2016; Ortiz-Gonzalez, 2018; Baker, 2019; Ziats, 2020). Additionally, we have identified this variant in the homozygous state via whole exome sequencing at Ambry Genetics in four patients with clinical features of TBCK-related neurodevelopmental disorders. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
