TBCK

On this page, you will find information about genetic changes that were identified in UDN participants. We are trying to find others with the same or similar condition.

Sharing information on this website is not a requirement of UDN participation. Only descriptions about participants who give explicit consent will appear here.

Changes in this gene were identified in UDN participants (read full descriptions: Participant 075, Participant 150).

Date of Report

Apr 02, 2020

Full Name

TBC1 domain containing kinase

Location
Chromosome 4 (4q24)


Function

The TBCK gene codes for a protein involved in the regulation of the mTOR signaling pathway (Liu et al. 2013).

Database Links

GeneCards: TBCK

NCBI Gene: 93627

OMIM: 616899

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: Q8TEA7

Clinical Significance

Changes in this gene were identified in two UDN participants and other individuals with similar symptoms (Bhoj et al. 2016).

The changes identified in the UDN participants are as follows:

Participant 075, a 5-year-old female with global developmental delay, absent speech, sparse hair, seizures, brain abnormalities, and short stature was found to carry the following genetic changes in the TBCK gene:

  • c.659-1G>A (inheritance pattern: autosomal recessive (de novo), position: chr4:g.107170140C>T, transcript: NM_001163435.2)
  • 35kb deletion including exon 23 (inheritance pattern: autosomal recessive (maternal), position: chr4:g.107066118_107101467del; transcript: NM_001163435.2)

Clinicians and researchers believe that these genetic changes are causing the participant’s symptoms.

Participant 150, a 7 year-old female with respiratory failure, feeding difficulties, and global developmental delay was found to carry the following genetic changes in the TBCK gene:

  • c.1775-5106_2235+2392del (inheritance pattern: autosomal recessive (paternal), position: chr4:106168705_106217943del, transcript: NM_001163436.2)
  • c.456-2A>G (inheritance pattern: autosomal recessive (maternal), position: chr4:106252009A>G; transcript: NM_001163436.2)

Clinicians and researchers believe that these genetic changes are causing the participant’s symptoms.
