Description

The c.763G>A (p.V255I) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 4) of the TUBB4A gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 763, causing the valine (V) at amino acid position 255 to be replaced by an isoleucine (I). Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), the TUBB4A c.763G>A alteration was not observed, with coverage at this position. This alteration was reported de novo in a 5 year old girl with spastic quadriparesis, hypotonia, ataxia, developmental delay, and a brain MRI showing hypomyelination and mild cerebellar vermis atrophy (Pizzino, 2014). This alteration was reported de novo in another patient with developmental delay, microcephaly, truncal hypotonia, limb hypertonia, foot clonus, and cerebellar hypoplasia/atrophy (Lee, 2014). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek, 2016; Firth, 2009). Histo-pathological examination of brain tissue from affected individuals with the p.V255I alteration showed abnormal morphology of oligodendrocytes, and in vitro functional studies showed decreased tubulin polymerization and decreased myelin protein expression (Curiel, 2017). The p.V255I alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic.
