Genes affected
PLA2G6 (HGNC:9039): (phospholipase A2 group VI) The protein encoded by this gene is an A2 phospholipase, a class of enzyme that catalyzes the release of fatty acids from phospholipids. The encoded protein may play a role in phospholipid remodelling, arachidonic acid release, leukotriene and prostaglandin synthesis, fas-mediated apoptosis, and transmembrane ion flux in glucose-stimulated B-cells. Several transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been described, but the full-length nature of only three of them have been determined to date. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

The PLA2G6 c.991G>T; p.D331Y variant has been reported associated with parkinsonism (Shi 2011, Chu 2020, Liu 2022, Xie 2015). Furthermore, the functional studies have demonstrated that p.D331Y variant results in early-onset degeneration of Dopaminergic neurons (Chiu 2018, Ke 2020). This variant is associated with the following publications: PMID: 21700586, 32183746, 36150414, 25660576, 32071291, 30088174. -

The p.Asp331Tyr variant in PLA2G6 has been reported in at least 4 individuals with PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration (PMID: 29454663, 31196701, 22213678) and has been identified in 0.08% (11/13680) of East Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs199935023). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID#: 30371) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by GeneDx and OMIM. Of the 4 affected individuals, 1 was a compound heterozygote that carried a reported likely pathogenic variants in trans and 2 of those were homozygotes, which increases the likelihood that the p.Asp331Tyr variant is pathogenic (Variant ID: 279875; PMID: 29454663, 31196701, 22213678). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Asp331Tyr variant may slightly impact protein function (PMID: 21700586). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. Animal models in mice have shown that this variant causes PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration (PMID: 30088174). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3_strong, PS3 (Richards 2015). -

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 331 of the PLA2G6 protein (p.Asp331Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs199935023, gnomAD 0.08%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Parkinson disease (PMID: 21700586, 22213678, 25660576). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 30371). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PLA2G6 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PLA2G6 function (PMID: 21700586). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
