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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 11 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 19-40395144-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-40395144-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 4794.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-40395144-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Dejerine-Sottas disease Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	3billion	Jan 03, 2022	Stop-gained (nonsense): predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through protein truncation. The predicted truncated protein may be shortened by more than 10% (PVS1_S). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000004794, PMID:15197604). It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.000008, PM2_M). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4 Pathogenic:1 Uncertain:1

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	May 25, 2023	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4794). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (PMID: 15197604, 15469949, 16770524, 22847150, 26059842). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs104894708, gnomAD 0.006%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1070*) in the PRX gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 392 amino acid(s) of the PRX protein. -
