Green List (high evidence)

At least 15 TUBA4A variants have been associated with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 22 with or without frontotemporal dementia, (OMIM:616208)(PMID: 25374358; 37418012; 38884572). Spastic ataxia (in 4/13 unrelated cases) and nystagmus (in 5/13 unrelated cases) have been noted as additional phenotypic features in patients reported by PMID: 37418012; 38884572. Furthermore, functional studies show that missense TUBA4A variants significantly alter the microtubule organization and dynamics, diminishing its repolymerization capability (PMID: 25374358; 38884572).
