Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 13P and 1B. PM2 PM5 PP2 PP5_Very_Strong BP4

The NM_006009.4(TUBA1A):​c.808G>T​(p.Ala270Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A270T) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

TUBA1A (HGNC:20766): (tubulin alpha 1a) Microtubules of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton perform essential and diverse functions and are composed of a heterodimer of alpha and beta tubulins. The genes encoding these microtubule constituents belong to 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, which are highly conserved among species. This gene encodes alpha tubulin and is highly similar to the mouse and rat Tuba1 genes. Northern blot studies have shown that the gene expression is predominantly found in morphologically differentiated neurologic cells. This gene is one of three alpha-tubulin genes in a cluster on chromosome 12q. Mutations in this gene cause lissencephaly type 3 (LIS3) - a neurological condition characterized by microcephaly, intellectual disability, and early-onset epilepsy caused by defective neuronal migration. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]

TUBA1A (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr12-49185558-C-T is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), TUBA1A. . Gene score misZ 5.584 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 8.7455 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with tubulinopathy-associated dysgyria, intellectual disability, autosomal dominant 40, tubulinopathy, lissencephaly due to TUBA1A mutation.
• PP5: Variant 12-49185558-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-49185558-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 160164.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr12-49185558-C-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.3807244). . Strength limited to SUPPORTING due to the PP5.

A variant that is classified as pathogenic has been identified in the TUBA1A gene in a 19 months old born individual of male sex. The c.808G>T, p.(Ala270Ser) variant has been reported as a variant of de novo origin. This variant and associated phenotype was previously reported by Myers et al. Pediatric Neurology, 2015 PMID: 26294046. HPO-standardized clinical features were: Agenesis of the corpus callosum (HP:0001274); Cortical gyral simplification (HP:0009879); Cerebellar vermis hypoplasia (HP:0001320); Hypoplasia of the brainstem (HP:0002365); Cerebellar dysplasia (HP:0007033); Congenital microcephaly (HP:0011451); Muscular hypotonia (HP:0001252); Generalized tonic-clonic seizures (HP:0002069); Optic nerve hypoplasia (HP:0000609) -
