Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points: 22P and 0B. PVS1PS3PM2PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000286.3(PEX12):c.730_733dupGCCT(p.Leu245CysfsTer19) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000743 in 1,614,152 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000914758: To evaluate the effect of PEX12 expression on peroxisomal protein import, Chang et al. (1997) used patient fibroblasts and noted that when the variant was present, cDNA expression was observed in the cytoplasm only" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar.

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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points.

PVS1

Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 35 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.

PS3

PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000914758: To evaluate the effect of PEX12 expression on peroxisomal protein import, Chang et al. (1997) used patient fibroblasts and noted that when the variant was present, cDNA expression was observed in the cytoplasm only; however, expression of PEX12 in these cells reversed the effect and import into the peroxisomes was observed.

PM2

Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;

PP5

Variant 17-35576128-A-AAGGC is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-35576128-A-AAGGC is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 371737.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
