Genes affected
PEX2 (HGNC:9717): (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 2) This gene encodes an integral peroxisomal membrane protein required for peroxisome biogenesis. The protein is thought to be involved in peroxisomal matrix protein import. Mutations in this gene result in one form of Zellweger syndrome and infantile Refsum disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Peroxisome biogenesis disorder 5A (Zellweger) Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 10, 2021This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PEX2-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs61752124, ExAC 0.006%). This sequence change affects codon 125 of the PEX2 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the PEX2 protein. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
