Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PP2 PP3 BS2

The NM_006000.3(TUBA4A):​c.643C>T​(p.Arg215Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000547 in 1,461,894 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R215S) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected

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

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points.

• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), TUBA4A. . Gene score misZ 3.3027 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 4.9936 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with autosomal dominant macrothrombocytopenia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 22.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.837
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 8 AD gene.

Identified in an individual with familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with frontotemporal dementia; segregation testing was not performed (Smith BN et al., 2014); Published functional studies found this variant is associated with a small migration difference and altered incorporation into microtubules. However, alpha and beta tubulin dimer assembly was not significantly reduced; the significance of these functional differences is unclear (Smith BN et al., 2014); 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: 37024973, 25374358, 26934450, 27538057, 26780671, 35714755, 33027950, 34169147, 36943622, 36747013) -
