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]

Published functional studies demonstrate an impact on splicing by causing skipping of exon 11 and 12 and an insertion of 21 nucleotides, therefore demonstrating a damaging effect (Matsumoto et al., 2001); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19877282, 15542397, 26700162, 19142205, 11355018) -

This sequence change replaces valine with methionine at codon 788 of the PEX6 protein (p.Val788Met). The valine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between valine and methionine. RNA analysis indicates that this missense change induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy or Zellweger syndrome (PMID: 3515938, 19142205, 19877282, 26700162). This variant is also known as PEX6del2095‚Äì2362/21ins. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 556244). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this missense change results in skipping of exons 11 and 12 and an insertion of 21 nucleotides, which introduces a frameshift and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 11355018). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. 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. -

Variant summary: PEX6 c.2362G>A (p.Val788Met) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the ATPase, AAA-type, core domain of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant is the last exonic nucleotide at an exon-intron junction, suggesting it may affect splicing. At least one publication, Matsumoto_2001, reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251656 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.2362G>A, has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Zellweger Syndrome, both as a homozygous and compound heterozygous allele. (Steinberg_2004, Krause_2009, Ebberink_2010, Lusebrink_2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. One publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, however, does not allow convincing conclusions about the variant effect (Lusebrink_2016). One ClinVar submission from other clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was 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. A 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) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from valine to methionine. It was noted that ClinVar entries cited Matsumoto 2001 (PMID: 11355018), describing a splicing defect caused by this variant. However, upon asssessing this manuscript, this assay may have amplified a naturally occurring transcript (NR_133009.2, UCSC), and therefore, the information from this publication was treated with caution during variant classification. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD <0.01 for a recessive condition (v2: 5 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes). (SP) 0502 - Missense variant with conflicting in silico predictions and very high conservation. In addition, this variant affects the last base pair of an exon. Abnormal splicing is predicted by in silico tools and the affected nucleotide is highly conserved. (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in the annotated AAA ATPase domain (DECIPHER). (I) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. It has been described as compound heterozygous with p.(Arg601Trp) in an individual with Zellweger syndrome spectrum (ZSS) (PMID: 26700162). Two other heterozygotes with ZSS were reported; however, their second allele was unspecified (PMID: 19142205, 19877282). It has also been classified mutliple times as pathogenic/likely pathogenic and once as a VUS by diagnostic laboratories in ClinVar. (SP) 1007 - No published functional evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1201 - Heterozygous variant detected in trans with a pathogenic heterozygous variant (NM_000287.3(PEX6):c.1801C>T; p.(Arg601Trp)) in a recessive disease. (SP) 1206 - This variant has been shown to be paternally inherited (by trio analysis). (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
