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]

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ile650Serfs*10) 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 present in population databases (rs267608227, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with Zellweger syndrome (PMID: 19142205, 19877282). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 495796). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: The PEX6 c.1947delG (p.Ile650Serfs) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent PEX6 protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 4/121404 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000329, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic PEX6 variant (0.0019365). The variant has been reported in affected individuals in the literature in the homozygous and heterozygous state. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with peroxisome biogenesis disorder 4B (MIM#614863), Heimler syndrome 2 (MIM#616617) and peroxisome biogenesis disorder 4A (Zellweger; MIM#614862). (I) 0108 - This gene is associated with both recessive and dominant disease. The recurrent variant p.(Arg860Trp) is associated with autosomal dominant peroxisome biogenesis disorder 4B (PMID: 29220678). In addition, Heimler syndrome 2 is milder due to one allele encoding for a protein with residual function (OMIM). (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v2) <0.01 (6 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0701 - Other NMD-predicted variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity (DECIPHER). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been reported as pathogenic, and observed in both homozygous and heterozygous individuals with Zellweger syndrome (PMID: 19877282). (SP) 1205 - This variant has been shown to be maternally inherited (by trio analysis). (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
