TUBA1A (Tubulin alpha-1A chain) variants and mutations

TUBA1A (also known as Tubulin alpha-1A chain) is a human protein-coding gene encoding a tubulin alpha-1A chain protein. An alpha-tubulin chain that pairs with beta-tubulin to build microtubules. Microtubules provide tracks for transport and help shape dividing and migrating cells, making TUBA1A especially important for fetal brain development. This analysis covers 731 TUBA1A variants and mutations. Of these, 82% have computational variant effect predictions. Disease context includes lissencephaly due to TUBA1A mutation, tubulinopathy, and tubulinopathy-associated dysgyria. Example TUBA1A variants include R2C, R2H, and R2S.
