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 Pathogenic:1

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

The p.W53S variant (also known as c.158G>C), located in coding exon 1 of the TMEM127 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 158. The tryptophan at codon 53 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant has been observed in multiple individuals with a personal and/or family history of pheochromocytoma (Ambry internal data; Yao L et al. JAMA, 2010 Dec;304:2611-9). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

Hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma Uncertain:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 53 of the TMEM127 protein (p.Trp53Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with pheochromocytomas and/or paragangliomas (PMID: 21156949, 22136840). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126963). 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. -
