Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM4

The NM_181882.3(PRX):​c.1578_1601dupGGAGATGAAACTCCCAAAGGTGCC​(p.Pro534_Glu535insGluMetLysLeuProLysValPro) variant causes a disruptive inframe insertion change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000198 in 151,516 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★).

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]

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

The c.1578_1601dup24 variant (also known as p.M536_A537insEMKLPKVP), located in coding exon 4 of the PRX gene, results from an in-frame duplication of 24 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 1578 to 1601. This results in the insertion of 8 amino acid residues (glutamic acid, methionine, lysine, leucine, proline, lysine, valine, and proline) between codons 536 and 537. This amino acid region is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be neutral by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

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

This variant, c.1578_1601dup, results in the insertion of 8 amino acid(s) to the PRX protein (p.Lys529_Met536dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the ExAC database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with PRX-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 543404). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. 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. -
