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]

The variant creates a premature nonsense codon, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one symptomatic patient, and found in general population data that is consistent with pathogenicity. -

The PRX c.2857C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg953*). This variant was reported in individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (homozygous, Castoro et al 2022. PubMed ID: 36623372; unspecified zygosity, Volodarsky et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32376792) as well as in the compound heterozygous state in an individual with Dejerine-Sottas syndrome and in the heterozygous state in her unaffected son (Boerkoel et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11133365). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through the loss of the last 509 amino acids of the Periaxin protein, and other loss-of-function variants have been reported downstream of this variant (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar; Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD)). Nonsense variants in PRX are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is reported in 0.011% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

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

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg953*) in the PRX gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 509 amino acid(s) of the PRX protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs104894714, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Dejerine-Sottas syndrome (PMID: 11133365). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4787). This variant disrupts a region of the PRX protein in which other variant(s) (p.R1070*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15197604, 16770524, 22847150). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
