Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5
The NM_000533.5(PLP1):c.409C>G(p.Arg137Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R137W) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease Pathogenic:1
This missense variant (c.409G>C, p.Arg137Gly) has not been observed in population databases (gnomAD). It has been described in the literature (PMID 24139698, PMID 16288477, PMID 26125040, PMID 20022439). This nucleotide resides in a region involved in splice site regulation (PMID 16288477), and variant prediction programs suggest a deleterious effect on the PLP1 protein. -
Hereditary spastic paraplegia 2 Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 137 of the PLP1 protein (p.Arg137Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with PLP1-related conditions (PMID: 24139698; internal data). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2230585). 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 tolerated. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PLP1 function (PMID: 16288477). This variant disrupts the p.Arg137 amino acid residue in PLP1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with PLP1-related conditions (PMID: 17438221), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. 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. -
Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
The c.409C>G (p.R137G) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 3) of the PLP1 gene. This alteration results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 409, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 137 to be replaced by a glycine (G). The in silico prediction for the p.R137G alteration is inconclusive. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
