About TUBB3

For the most up to date information on TUBB3 please click here.

TUBB3-related Tubulinopathy is ultra rare and has no cure, treatment, or standard of care at this time. Patients are commonly misdiagnosed or undiagnosed for years because TUBB3 syndromes are so rare. Individuals with TUBB3 variants often have to see a team of specialists to treat individual symptoms. These specialists rarely communicate with each other and because there is no standard of care, patients often scramble for years to find effective treatment to help with symptoms. Common symptoms of TUBB3 variants include but are not limited to:

  • developmental delays
  • limited gross and/or fine motor skills
  • low muscle tone and weakness
  • poor balance
  • eye movement disorders, including CFEOM
  • intellectual disability
  • Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome
  • seizures or epilepsy
  • Visual impairments
  • numbness in limbs
  • Malformations of Cortical Development
  • facial weakness
  • hearing loss
  • skeletal or other abnormalities
  • mirror movements
  • tics or involuntary movements
  • autism

Pronunciation of TUBB3

You might hear TUBB3 pronounced in different ways. TUBB3 stands for beta-tubulin type 3. Tubulin is pronounced (tube-u-lin) which may cause some confusion in the pronunciation of TUBB3. Most researchers and TUBB3 Foundation pronounce TUBB3 (tub-three).
