Genes affected

TMEM127 (HGNC:26038): (transmembrane protein 127) This gene encodes a transmembrane protein with four predicted transmembrane domains. The protein is associated with a subpopulation of vesicular organelles corresponding to early endosomal structures, with the Golgi, and with lysosomes, and may participate in protein trafficking between these structures. Mutations in this gene and several other genes cause pheochromocytomas. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2022]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

PVS1

Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.23012552 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.3, offset of 20, new splice context is: atttctgcatgaatccccAGaca. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.

PP5

Variant 2-96254998-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-96254998-C-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 571215.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.245-1G>C intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to C substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 2 of the TMEM127 gene. This alteration has been reported in individuals with personal history of pheochromocytoma (Ambry internal data). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The TMEM127 c.245-1G>C variant disrupts a canonical splice-acceptor site and interferes with normal TMEM127 mRNA splicing. This variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 36655350 (2023)). Additionally, this variant has been observed in an individual with pheochromocytoma (PCC) (Quest internal data). Another variant that disrupts the canonical splice-acceptor site (c.245-1G>T) has also been reported in individuals with PCC and is considered pathogenic (PMID: 20154675 (2010)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00016 (4/24942 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is consistent with pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 2 of the TMEM127 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.02%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with bilateral pheochromocytoma (PMID: 20154675). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 571215). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in activation of a cryptic splice site, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
