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]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 19, 2021Variant summary: TMEM127 c.208G>A (p.Asp70Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0002 in 240004 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0031 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately well above the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in TMEM127 causing Hereditary Paraganglioma-Pheochromocytoma Syndrome phenotype (3.1e-07), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. c.208G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with pheochromocytomas and/or paragangliomas and renal cell carcinoma, without strong evidence for causality (Yao_2010, Qin_2014). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Paraganglioma-Pheochromocytoma Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as benign/likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
