Genes affected
PRX (HGNC:13797): (periaxin) This gene encodes a protein involved in peripheral nerve myelin upkeep. The encoded protein contains 2 PDZ domains which were named after PSD95 (post synaptic density protein), DlgA (Drosophila disc large tumor suppressor), and ZO1 (a mammalian tight junction protein). Two alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene which encode different protein isoforms and which are targeted differently in the Schwann cell. Mutations in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuoropathy, type 4F and Dejerine-Sottas neuropathy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Y77* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.231C>G), located in coding exon 3 of the PRX gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 231. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 3. This alteration was detected in a neuropathy cohort; however, clinical details were limited (DiVincenzo C et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med, 2014 Nov;2:522-9). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr77*) in the PRX gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PRX are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11133365). This variant is present in population databases (rs752192677, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with neuropathy (PMID: 25614874). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 574671). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
