Genes affected
PEX12 (HGNC:8854): (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 12) This gene belongs to the peroxin-12 family. Peroxins (PEXs) are proteins that are essential for the assembly of functional peroxisomes. The peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) are a group of genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive, lethal diseases characterized by multiple defects in peroxisome function. The peroxisomal biogenesis disorders are a heterogeneous group with at least 14 complementation groups and with more than 1 phenotype being observed in cases falling into particular complementation groups. Although the clinical features of PBD patients vary, cells from all PBD patients exhibit a defect in the import of one or more classes of peroxisomal matrix proteins into the organelle. Defects in this gene are a cause of Zellweger syndrome (ZWS). [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

Peroxisome biogenesis disorder 3A (Zellweger) Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingMyriad Genetics, Inc.Oct 20, 2021NM_000286.2(PEX12):c.126+1G>T is a canonical splice variant classified as pathogenic in the context of peroxisome biogenesis disorder type 3. c.126+1G>T has been observed in cases with relevant disease (PMID: 9792857, 21031596). Functional assessments of this variant are available in the literature (PMID: 9792857). c.126+1G>T has been observed in population frequency databases (gnomAD: NFE 0.01%). In summary, NM_000286.2(PEX12):c.126+1G>T is a canonical splice variant in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease, is predicted to disrupt protein function, and has been observed more frequently in cases with the relevant disease than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 29, 2024This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 1 of the PEX12 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in PEX12 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9090384, 9632816, 21031596). This variant is present in population databases (rs144259891, gnomAD 0.006%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with PEX12-related conditions (PMID: 9792857, 21031596). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371718). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Peroxisome biogenesis disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 23, 2017Variant summary: The PEX12 c.126+1G>T variant involves the alteration of a conserved intronic nucleotide 1 base pair upstream of the exon-intron junction. Mutation Taster predicts a damaging outcome for this variant and 5/5 splice prediction tools predict a significant impact on splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. This variant was found in the large control database ExACat a frequency of 0.0000329 (4/121406 control chromosomes), which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic PEX12 variant (0.0015811). Multiple publications have detected and analyzed the variant in patient cohorts. Chang_AJHG_1998 detected the variant in two patients (PBD006 [severely affected] and PBD099 [mildly affected]), both of which were compound heterozygotes, each carrying a different second mutation allele (PBD006 - p.R180ter; PBD099 - c.26_27delCA causing a frameshift). Functional analyses showed a significant reduction in PBD006 mRNA levels (14% of WT levels) and a lesser reduction in PBD099 (70% of WT levels). Additional molecular studies showed that the c.26_27delCA mutation is a partially functional allele, accounting for the differences observed in phenotype severity and mRNA levels, and supporting a pathogenic role for the variant of interest. Another publication, Ebberink_HM_2011, performed high-throughput complementation assays in 613 patient skin fibroblast cell lines and detected the variant of interest in 8 patients (3 homozygous and 5 heterozygous). In addition, one clinical diagnostic laboratory has classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
