TUBB

TUBB (tubulin beta class I, alias TUBB5) is a human chromosome 6p21.33 gene encoding beta-I tubulin, the microtubule-forming dimer partner of alpha tubulin; mutations cause CDCBM6 brain malformation, skin crease syndrome, and impaired ciliogenesis.

TUBB2A

TUBB2A (tubulin beta 2A class IIa), chromosome 6p25.2, encodes a neuron-enriched beta-tubulin making up about 30% of brain beta-tubulin; pathogenic variants cause tubulinopathy with cortical malformations, infantile epilepsy, and p.D417N progressive ataxia.

TUBB3

TUBB3 (tubulin beta 3 class III), at 16q24.3, encodes the neuron-specific βIII-tubulin of neuronal microtubules. Missense variants cause CFEOM3 and cortical malformations via dominant gain-of-function effects on microtubule dynamics and kinesin interactions, while knockout mice are normal.
