Genes affected
PEX6 (HGNC:8859): (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 6) This gene encodes a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) family of ATPases. This member is a predominantly cytoplasmic protein, which plays a direct role in peroxisomal protein import and is required for PTS1 (peroxisomal targeting signal 1, a C-terminal tripeptide of the sequence ser-lys-leu) receptor activity. Mutations in this gene cause peroxisome biogenesis disorders of complementation group 4 and complementation group 6. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

PEX6-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Aug 13, 2023
PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The PEX6 c.1287delC variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Trp430Glyfs*20). This variant was reported in the compound heterozygous state in two siblings with peroxisomal disorders (Gagnon et al. 2023. PubMed ID: 36649687). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. Frameshift variants in PEX6 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

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

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp430Glyfs*20) in the PEX6 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PEX6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10408779, 21031596, 31831025). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PEX6-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 446026). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
