Genes affected
PEX26 (HGNC:22965): (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 26) This gene belongs to the peroxin-26 gene family. It is probably required for protein import into peroxisomes. It anchors PEX1 and PEX6 to peroxisome membranes, possibly to form heteromeric AAA ATPase complexes required for the import of proteins into peroxisomes. Defects in this gene are the cause of peroxisome biogenesis disorder complementation group 8 (PBD-CG8). PBD refers to a group of peroxisomal disorders arising from a failure of protein import into the peroxisomal membrane or matrix. The PBD group is comprised of four disorders: Zellweger syndrome (ZWS), neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD), infantile Refsum disease (IRD), and classical rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 98 of the PEX26 protein (p.Arg98Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs62641228, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Zellweger spectrum disorder (PMID: 12717447, 12851857, 16257970, 26287655, 28944237). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2152). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PEX26 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PEX26 function (PMID: 12717447, 12851857, 26627908). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.007%). Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 12717447 , 12851857 , 26627908). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.90; 3Cnet: 0.96). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000002152). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline.

The PEX26 c.292C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg98Trp. This variant has been reported as pathogenic for autosomal recessive peroxisome biogenesis disorder, and in the homozygous state the milder infantile Refsum disease (Matsumoto et al. 2003. PubMed ID: 12851857; Furuki et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 16257970; Berendse et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26287655; Neuhaus et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28944237). This variant is reported in 0.013% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic.

Variant summary: PEX26 c.292C>T (p.Arg98Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.5e-05 in 277208 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in PEX26 causing Zellweger Syndrome (6.5e-05 vs 0.0016), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.292C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Zellweger Syndrome (Ebberink_2010). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in between 50%-90% of normal activity (Furuki_2006). A ClinVar submission from a clinical diagnostic laboratory (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
