RCV000850184 | SCV000992381 | likely pathogenic | Lissencephaly due to TUBA1A mutation | 2019-06-18 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This TUBA1A variant is absent from large population datasets and TUBA1A missense variation appears to be extremely uncommon in these populations (gnomAD expected number of missense variants: 260.7, observed number of missense variants: 7, Z=5.58). This variant has not been reported in the literature, to our knowledge. Of two bioinformatics tools queried, one predicts that the substitution would be damaging, while the second predicts that it would be tolerated. The threonine residue at this position is evolutionarily conserved across all higher order mammals and nearly all other species assessed. Due to the apparently de novo state of this variant, the absence of this missense change from healthy population sets, and correlation with the patients clinical presentation, c.217A>G is likely pathogenic in this patient. |
