Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 17 ACMG points: 17P and 0B. PM2PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_178014.4(TUBB):c.895A>G(p.Met299Val) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. M299I) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Predicted Consequence/Location: Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product [REVEL: 0.87 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.68 and specificity 0.92); 3Cnet: 0.90 (>=0.6, sensitivity 0.72 and precision 0.9)]. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000127189 /PMID: 23246003). The variant has been previously reported as de novo in a similarly affected individual (PMID: 23246003). A different missense change at the same codon (p.Met299Ile) has been reported to be associated with TUBB -related disorder (ClinVar ID: VCV001338518). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
The c.895A>G (p.M299V) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 4) of the TUBB gene. This alteration results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 895, causing the methionine (M) at amino acid position 299 to be replaced by a valine (V). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant has been previously reported as a de novo occurrence in an individual with microcephaly, brain anomalies, developmental delay, ataxia, retinal dysplasia, and micro-ophthalmia (Breuss, 2012; Ngo, 2014). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek, 2016; Firth, 2009). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -

Published functional studies demonstrate impaired neuronal morphology, migration, microtubule assembly, and positioning (Breuss et al., 2012; Ngo et al., 2014); Not observed in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28347630, 23246003, 24833723, 32085672, 30738969, 28412269) -
