Genes affected
PRX (HGNC:13797): (periaxin) This gene encodes a protein involved in peripheral nerve myelin upkeep. The encoded protein contains 2 PDZ domains which were named after PSD95 (post synaptic density protein), DlgA (Drosophila disc large tumor suppressor), and ZO1 (a mammalian tight junction protein). Two alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene which encode different protein isoforms and which are targeted differently in the Schwann cell. Mutations in this gene cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth neuoropathy, type 4F and Dejerine-Sottas neuropathy. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.4117C>T (p.R1373W) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 4) of the PRX gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 4117, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 1373 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4 Uncertain:1
Jul 29, 2022
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1373 of the PRX protein (p.Arg1373Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs766729202, gnomAD 0.002%). 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: 476969). 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. -
