Genes affected

TUBB4A (HGNC:20774): (tubulin beta 4A class IVa) This gene encodes a member of the beta tubulin family. Beta tubulins are one of two core protein families (alpha and beta tubulins) that heterodimerize and assemble to form microtubules. Mutations in this gene cause hypomyelinating leukodystrophy-6 and autosomal dominant torsion dystonia-4. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 15 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in gene, where missense usually causes diseases (based on misZ statistic), TUBB4A. . Gene score misZ 4.2623 (greater than the threshold 3.09). Trascript score misZ 5.1229 (greater than threshold 3.09). GenCC has associacion of gene with torsion dystonia 4, TUBB4A-related neurologic disorder, hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 6.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.949
• PP5: Variant 19-6495335-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-6495335-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 209201.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 6 Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jun 20, 2023	Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TUBB4A protein function. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 209201). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hypomyelinating leukodystrophy (PMID: 24785942, 32581362, 33597727). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 388 of the TUBB4A protein (p.Met388Ile). -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Baylor Genetics	Nov 05, 2014	Likely pathogenicity based on finding it once in our laboratory de novo in a 22-year-old female with spastic paraplegia, epilepsy, hyperreflexia, absent speech, severe cognitive delays, severe scoliosis, leukodystrophy, ventriculomegaly, microcephaly, osteoporosis, hip dislocation. -
