Genes affected
TMEM127 (HGNC:26038): (transmembrane protein 127) This gene encodes a transmembrane protein with four predicted transmembrane domains. The protein is associated with a subpopulation of vesicular organelles corresponding to early endosomal structures, with the Golgi, and with lysosomes, and may participate in protein trafficking between these structures. Mutations in this gene and several other genes cause pheochromocytomas. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2022]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1

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

The p.L138P variant (also known as c.413T>C), located in coding exon 3 of the TMEM127 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 413. The leucine at codon 138 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma Uncertain:1
Jan 18, 2025
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 138 of the TMEM127 protein (p.Leu138Pro). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with paraganglioma (PMID: 33051659). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405203). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests 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. -
