Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM2PM5PP2PP3_Strong

The NM_006009.4(TUBA1A):​c.791G>T​(p.Arg264Leu) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 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. R264C) 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]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points.

PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr12-49185576-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].
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, 0.942

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 264 of the TUBA1A protein (p.Arg264Leu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TUBA1A-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. This variant disrupts the p.Arg264 amino acid residue in TUBA1A. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17218254, 18199681, 27431206, 28677066, 29671837). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
