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]

TUBA1B-AS1 (HGNC:56356): (TUBA1B antisense RNA 1)

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the TUBA1A gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 163 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 25 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 5.584 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 8.7455 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to tubulinopathy-associated dysgyria, intellectual disability, autosomal dominant 40, tubulinopathy, lissencephaly due to TUBA1A mutation.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.916
• PP5: Variant 12-49185261-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-49185261-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 212488.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr12-49185261-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
