Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease    Uncertain:1 
- -
not specified    Uncertain:1 
The S1407A variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. It was not observed with any significant frequency in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project. The S1407A variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species. However, in silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
Inborn genetic diseases    Uncertain:1 
The c.4219T>G (p.S1407A) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 4) of the PRX gene. This alteration results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 4219, causing the serine (S) at amino acid position 1407 to be replaced by an alanine (A). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Tip-toe gait    Uncertain:1 
We conducted a clinical examination of patients about toe walking. The PRX:c.4219T>G was detected in 1 patient. The variant was neither published as a pathogenic variant nor reported as a benign variant. It is an amino acid substitution that probably affects the secondary protein structure, since the amoinoacids differ in polarity, charge, size. This substitution takes place at the position that is not strongly conserved. In silico, however, the analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant damages the protein structure / function. On the basis of the currently available information, it is not possible to assess whether this variant is a pathogenic or a rare benign variant. It is classified as a variant of unclear significance. Hereditary motor sensory neuropathy (HMSN), also known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT), is the most commonly inherited peripheral polyneuropathy. It constitutes a group of inherited, progressive, motor and sensory peripheral nerve disorders with properties of demyelination, axonal degeneration, or both. It is classified by clinical characteristics, modes of inheritance, electrophysiologic features, metabolic defects, and specific gene markers. Our patients all walk on tiptoe, so they show similar symptoms. When we genetically test them with our toe walking panel, we find that around 90 per cent of them have a genetic variant that explains their toe walking. These can be assigned, for example, to the area of myopathies (such as variants of the COL6A3 gene), the area of hereditary neuropathies (such as variants of the KMT2C gene) or the area of metabolic diseases (such as variants of the PYGM gene). In a smaller group of patients with almost identical symptoms, no abnormality is found in the genes of our panel, but spastic paraplegia can be detected. In another small group of our toe walkers, no abnormalities can be detected in the genes analysed in our toe walking panel, nor do they suffer from spastic paraplegia, as is also the case with healthy children. In contrast to these, however, they show a tiptoe gait. These patients suffer from infantile cerebral palsy, in which toe walking can also be observed. -

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4    Uncertain:1 
This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1407 of the PRX protein (p.Ser1407Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs146468976, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PRX-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 246041). 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 PRX 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. -
