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]

This sequence change replaces leucine with proline at codon 742 of the PEX6 protein (p.Leu742Pro). The leucine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between leucine and proline. This variant is present in population databases (rs267608235, ExAC 0.04%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of Zellweger spectrum disorder (PMID: 19877282). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 552309). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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.
