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 mutations 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 mutations 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

numbness in limbs
Malformations of Cortical Development
facial weakness
hearing loss
skeletal or other abnormalities
mirror movements
tics or involuntary movements
autism
