Genes affected
PEX1 (HGNC:8850): (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 1) This gene encodes a member of the AAA ATPase family, a large group of ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities. This protein is cytoplasmic but is often anchored to a peroxisomal membrane where it forms a heteromeric complex and plays a role in the import of proteins into peroxisomes and peroxisome biogenesis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with complementation group 1 peroxisomal disorders such as neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy, infantile Refsum disease, and Zellweger syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
GATAD1 (HGNC:29941): (GATA zinc finger domain containing 1) The protein encoded by this gene contains a zinc finger at the N-terminus, and is thought to bind to a histone modification site that regulates gene expression. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal recessive dilated cardiomyopathy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012]

Variant summary: PEX1 c.2843G>A (p.Arg948Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. 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. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.4e-05 in 251322 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in PEX1 causing Zellweger Syndrome (4.4e-05 vs 0.0039), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.2843G>A has been observed in an individual affected with Zellweger Syndrome, however they also were homozygous for a pathogenic variant in PEX26 (Yik_2009). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Zellweger Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 19105186). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 441031). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 948 of the PEX1 protein (p.Arg948Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs535271603, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PMID: 19105186). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 441031). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PEX1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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. -
