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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 11, 2018The R368X nonsense variant in the PRX gene has been reported previously in an individual with Dejerine-Sottas neuropathy who had a second variant identified on the opposite PRX allele (in trans) (Boerkoel et al., 2001). This pathogenic variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation as the last 1094 amino acids of the protein are lost. The R368X variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). -
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4 Pathogenic:1Uncertain:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJun 30, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg368*) in the PRX gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 1094 amino acid(s) of the PRX protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Dejerine-Sottas syndrome (PMID: 11133365). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4789). This variant disrupts a region of the PRX protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg1070*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15197604, 16770524, 22847150, 26059842). 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. -

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 21, 2020The p.R368* variant (also known as c.1102C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the PRX gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1102. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. Premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature; however, this stop codon occurs at the 3' terminus of PRX, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and impacts the last 1,094 amino acids of the protein, which accounts for approximately 75% of the protein including the acidic domain. Additional truncating alterations downstream of this alteration have been reported in the literature as disease-causing. This alteration has been reported in trans with another PRX variant in a patient with Dejerine-Sottas syndrome (Boerkoel CF et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2001 Feb;68:325-33). This allele was reported in one heterozygous individual in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
