Genes affected
PEX12 (HGNC:8854): (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 12) This gene belongs to the peroxin-12 family. Peroxins (PEXs) are proteins that are essential for the assembly of functional peroxisomes. The peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) are a group of genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive, lethal diseases characterized by multiple defects in peroxisome function. The peroxisomal biogenesis disorders are a heterogeneous group with at least 14 complementation groups and with more than 1 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 are a cause of Zellweger syndrome (ZWS). [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Variant summary: PEX12 c.737C>A (p.Ser246Tyr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the N-terminal domain (IPR006845) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0002 in 244714 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in PEX12 causing Zellweger Syndrome (0.0002 vs 0.0016), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.737C>A in individuals affected with Zellweger Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 246 of the PEX12 protein (p.Ser246Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs200413804, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PEX12-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 502684). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt PEX12 protein function. 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.

The c.737C>A (p.S246Y) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the PEX12 gene. This alteration results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 737, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 246 to be replaced by a tyrosine (Y). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Collection Method:clinical testing

The PEX12 c.737C>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ser246Tyr. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.029% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence.
