TUBG1, a tubulin gene, plays an important role in neurodevelopment. Here we describe a case of a novel TUGB1 mutation (NM_001070.4:c.821C>T) (p.Thr274Ile). This patient presented similarly to previous cases with features including microcephaly, epilepsy, and speech and motor delay. Unique characteristics were also present such as trigonocephaly, tethered frenulum, scoliosis, nystagmus, and a concurrent FBXW7 mutation. This case expands our breadth of knowledge on TUBG1 genotypic and phenotypic variation. However, further work is needed to fully understand this rare mutation and the associations between TUBG1 and FBXW7 mutations.
TUBG1是一种微管蛋白基因,在神经发育中起重要作用。在此,我们描述了一例新型TUGB1突变(NM_001070.4:c.821C>T)(p.Thr274Ile)的病例。该患者的表现与先前病例相似,特征包括小头畸形、癫痫以及言语和运动发育迟缓。同时还存在一些独特的特征,如三角头畸形、舌系带过短、脊柱侧弯、眼球震颤以及同时存在的FBXW7突变。该病例扩展了我们对TUBG1基因和表型变异的认识范围。然而,需要进一步开展工作以全面了解这种罕见突变以及TUBG1与FBXW7突变之间的关联。
