Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong

The NM_000288.4(PEX7):​c.400G>T​(p.Asp134Tyr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D134N) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

PEX7 (HGNC:8860): (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 7) This gene encodes the cytosolic receptor for the set of peroxisomal matrix enzymes targeted to the organelle by the peroxisome targeting signal 2 (PTS2). Defects in this gene cause peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs), which are characterized by multiple defects in peroxisome function. There are at least 14 complementation groups for PBDs, with more than one phenotype being observed in cases falling into particular complementation groups. Although the clinical features of PBD patients vary, cells from all PBD patients exhibit a defect in the import of one or more classes of peroxisomal matrix proteins into the organelle. Defects in this gene have been associated with PBD complementation group 11 (PBD-CG11) disorders, rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata type 1 (RCDP1), and Refsum disease (RD).
