Genes affected
PEX6 (HGNC:8859): (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 6) This gene encodes a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) family of ATPases. This member is a predominantly cytoplasmic protein, which plays a direct role in peroxisomal protein import and is required for PTS1 (peroxisomal targeting signal 1, a C-terminal tripeptide of the sequence ser-lys-leu) receptor activity. Mutations in this gene cause peroxisome biogenesis disorders of complementation group 4 and complementation group 6. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

Peroxisome biogenesis disorder Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpSep 06, 2023This variant is present in population databases (rs63749004, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp268Cysfs*8) in the PEX6 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PEX6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10408779, 21031596, 31831025). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal is associated with altered splicing resulting in multiple RNA products (PMID: 22894767). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555443). This variant is also known as PEX6del619–882. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Zellweger spectrum disorder (PMID: 11355018, 22894767). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpOct 17, 2022Variant summary: PEX6 c.802_815del14 (p.Asp268CysfsX8) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay. However, the sequencing of RT-PCR products showed two different transcripts corresponding to the loss of terminal sequence of exon 1, c.226_882 and c.619_882 (p.[Val207_Gln294del, Val76_Gln294del]). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251468 control chromosomes. c.802_815del14 has been reported as a heterozygous and homozygous phenotype in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Zellweger Syndrome (Levesque_2012 and Matsumoto_2001). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence indicating that homozygous mutant fibroblasts did not produce detectable amounts of either full-length of truncated PEX6 protein and found a severe decrease in peroxisome number, abnomally enlarged peroxisomes and absent matrix protein import into the organelle in the patient compared to control fibroblasts. 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 pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
