Genes affected
TMEM126A (HGNC:25382): (transmembrane protein 126A) The protein encoded by this gene is a mitochondrial membrane protein of unknown function. Defects in this gene are a cause of optic atrophy type 7 (OPA7). Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJun 27, 2022This variant is present in population databases (rs121434508, gnomAD 0.02%). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 410). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive optic atrophy (PMID: 19327736, 30369941). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg55*) in the TMEM126A gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in TMEM126A are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 19327736). -

TMEM126A-related condition Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesFeb 16, 2024The TMEM126A c.163C>T variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Arg55*). This variant has been reported in the homozygous state in individuals with optic atrophy from a large multiplex consanguineous Algerian family along with three additional families originating from the same geographic region (Hanein et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19327736). This variant is reported in 0.011% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
