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 (★★).

Inborn genetic diseases    Uncertain:1 
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. -
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4    Uncertain:1 
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. -
