Genes affected
TMEM127 (HGNC:26038): (transmembrane protein 127) This gene encodes a transmembrane protein with four predicted transmembrane domains. The protein is associated with a subpopulation of vesicular organelles corresponding to early endosomal structures, with the Golgi, and with lysosomes, and may participate in protein trafficking between these structures. Mutations in this gene and several other genes cause pheochromocytomas. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2022]

Collection Method:clinical testing

The TMEM127 c.665C>T (p.Ala222Val) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.015% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a deleterious effect on protein function, but to our knowledge this prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. This variant has been reported in an individual with pheochromocytoma (PMIDs: 28384794: 24694336). In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

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

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Observed in a patient with pheochromocytoma (PMID: 24694336); Published functional studies demonstrate subcellular localization and protein expression similar to wild-type (PMID: 32575117); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 34426522, 24694336, 33051659, 32575117) -

Hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma Uncertain:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 222 of the TMEM127 protein (p.Ala222Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs373951977, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with pheochromocytoma (PMID: 24694336). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405200). 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 does not substantially affect TMEM127 function (PMID: 32575117). 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. -
