Genes affected
TMEM127 (HGNC:26038): (transmembrane protein 127) This gene encodes a transmembrane protein with four predicted transmembrane domains. The protein is associated with a subpopulation of vesicular organelles corresponding to early endosomal structures, with the Golgi, and with lysosomes, and may participate in protein trafficking between these structures. Mutations in this gene and several other genes cause pheochromocytomas. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2022]

Submissions by phenotype

Pheochromocytoma Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingDivision of Medical Genetics, University of WashingtonFeb 12, 2019The c.464T>A variant causes the introduction of a premature termination codon which leads to a truncated protein. The c.464T>A variant has been reported in the literature in individuals with paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma [Patocs 2016]. This variant has an overall allele frequency of 0.00001 in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Thus, this variant is considered pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 30, 2023The p.L155* variant (also known as c.464T>A), located in coding exon 3 of the TMEM127 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 464. This changes the amino acid from a leucine to a stop codon within coding exon 3. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theTMEM127 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 84 amino acids of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and a significant portion of the protein is affected (Ambry internal data). This alteration has been reported as a disease-causing mutation in a 51 year old patient with bilateral pheochromocytoma and intra-abdominal and head/neck paraganglioma (Patócs A et al. Pathol. Oncol. Res., 2016 Oct;22:673-9). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxApr 16, 2024Nonsense variant predicted to result in protein truncation, as the last 84 amino acids are lost, and other loss-of-function variants have been reported downstream in HGMD; Observed in individuals with endometrial cancer, leukemia, mesothelioma, and basal cell carcinoma (PMID: 29625052, 30113886, 34308104); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 33051659, 29625052, 30113886, 28384794, 34308104, 36451132, 37556141, 26960314) -
Hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 10, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu155*) in the TMEM127 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 84 amino acid(s) of the TMEM127 protein. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PMID: 26960314; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 265271). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this premature translational stop signal on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (Invitae). This variant disrupts a region of the TMEM127 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Gln159*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 22419703; Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
