Genes affected
PPOX (HGNC:9280): (protoporphyrinogen oxidase) This gene encodes the penultimate enzyme of heme biosynthesis, which catalyzes the 6-electron oxidation of protoporphyrinogen IX to form protoporphyrin IX. Mutations in this gene cause variegate porphyria, an autosomal dominant disorder of heme metabolism resulting from a deficiency in protoporphyrinogen oxidase, an enzyme located on the inner mitochondrial membrane. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJan 02, 2018The R168H variant in the PPOX gene has been reported previously in association with variegate porphyria (Frank et al., 1998; Whatley et al., 1999; Frank et al., 2001; Rossetti et al., 2008). The R168H variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The R168H variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. Functional studies demonstrate R168H disrupts the hydrogen bond network, and has a 50-fold decrease in catalytic activity (Qin et al., 2011). We interpret R168H as a pathogenic variant. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpNov 03, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 168 of the PPOX protein (p.Arg168His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PPOX function (PMID: 11929051, 21048046). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt PPOX protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8697). This missense change has been observed in individuals with variegate porphyria (PMID: 9738863, 10486317, 11173967, 18570668, 19845869, 28653968). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. -
