The recurrentTUBB3 Gly98Sersubstitution is the first described to inconsistently result inCFEOM3

Missense variants inTUBB3have historically been associated with either congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles type 3 (CFEOM3) or malformations of cortical development (MCD). Until a recent report identified two amino acid substitutions in four patients that had clinical features of both disorders, pathogenic variants ofTUBB3were thought distinct to either respective disorder. Three recurrentde novoGly71Arg TUBB3 substitutions and a single patient with ade novoGly98Ser substitution blurred the MCD and CFEOM3 phenotypic distinctions. Here we report a second patient with a missense c.292G>A (p.Gly98Ser) substitution, but without CFEOM3, the first reported evidence that even the same TUBB3 substitution can produce a spectrum ofTUBB3syndrome phenotypes. Our patient presented with amblyopia, exotropia, optic disc pallor, and developmental delay. Neuroimaging identified hypoplasia of the corpus callosum, interdigitation of the frontal lobe gyri, and dysplasia or hypoplasia of the optic nerves, basal ganglia, brainstem, and cerebellum. This report identifies the TUBB3 Gly98Ser substitution to be recurrent but inconsistently including CFEOM3, and identifies the absence of joint contractures and the presence of optic disc abnormalities that may be genotype-specific to the TUBB3 Gly98Ser substitution.
