Abstract excerpt
Beta-tubulin 4B isotype is one of the subunits of microtubules encoded by TUBB4B gene on chromosome 9, which is responsible for the maintenance of microtubule stability. In humans, mutations in microtubule-encoding genes have been associated with several tubulinopathies with very heterogeneous symptoms. So far, only two missense mutations in TUBB4B gene have been found to have pathological implications in this...
