Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 15 ACMG points: 15P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Moderate PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_006086.4(TUBB3):c.211G>A(p.Gly71Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,870 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 Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G71A) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

TUBB3 (HGNC:20772): (tubulin beta 3 class III) This gene encodes a class III member of the beta tubulin protein family. Beta tubulins are one of two core protein families (alpha and beta tubulins) that heterodimerize and assemble to form microtubules. This protein is primarily expressed in neurons and may be involved in neurogenesis and axon guidance and maintenance. Mutations in this gene are the cause of congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles type 3. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 15 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr16-89933513-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1338328.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant where missense usually causes diseases, TUBB3
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.867
• PP5: Variant 16-89933512-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-89933512-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 219255.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The p.Gly71Arg variant in TUBB3 was identified by our study in one individual with congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles, facial weakness, and simplified gyral pattern of the sylvian fissures, via a collaborative study between the Broad Institute's Center for Mendelian Genomics and the Engle lab (https://kirbyneuro.org/EngleLab/). Trio genome analysis showed this variant to be de novo. The p.Gly71Arg variant in TUBB3 has been previously reported in 3 unrelated individuals with congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles and malformations of cortical brain development (PMID: 26639658). The number of reported affected individuals with this variant is slightly greater than expected compared to non-affected individuals with this variant. This variant was found to be de novo in these 3 individuals with confirmed paternity and maternity (PMID: 26639658). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 219255) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by GeneDx. This variant was absent from large population studies. The number of missense variants reported in TUBB3 in the general population is lower than expected, suggesting there is little benign variation in this gene and slightly increasing the possibility that a missense variant in this gene may not be tolerated. One additional likely pathogenic variant, resulting in a different amino acid change at the same position, p.Gly71Ala, has been reported in association with disease in ClinVar, slightly supporting that a change at this position may not be tolerated (Variation ID: 1338328). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles with or without extraocular involvement. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS2_VeryStrong, PS4_Supporting, PM2_Supporting, PM5_supporting, PP2 (Richards 2015). -
