Genes affected

PNPLA6 (HGNC:16268): (patatin like phospholipase domain containing 6) This gene encodes a phospholipase that deacetylates intracellular phosphatidylcholine to produce glycerophosphocholine. It is thought to function in neurite outgrowth and process elongation during neuronal differentiation. The protein is anchored to the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum in both neurons and non-neuronal cells. Mutations in this gene result in autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia, and the protein is the target for neurodegeneration induced by organophosphorus compounds and chemical warfare agents. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]

The c.3654G>T (p.M1218I) alteration is located in exon 32 (coding exon 30) of the PNPLA6 gene. This alteration results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 3654, causing the methionine (M) at amino acid position 1218 to be replaced by an isoleucine (I). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

In summary, this is a novel missense change that is not predicted to affect protein function or cause disease. However, the evidence is insufficient at this time to prove that conclusively. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a PNPLA6-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. This sequence change replaces methionine with isoleucine at codon 1218 of the PNPLA6 protein (p.Met1218Ile). The methionine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between methionine and isoleucine. -
