Genes affected
PLA2G6 (HGNC:9039): (phospholipase A2 group VI) The protein encoded by this gene is an A2 phospholipase, a class of enzyme that catalyzes the release of fatty acids from phospholipids. The encoded protein may play a role in phospholipid remodelling, arachidonic acid release, leukotriene and prostaglandin synthesis, fas-mediated apoptosis, and transmembrane ion flux in glucose-stimulated B-cells. Several transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been described, but the full-length nature of only three of them have been determined to date. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

Submissions by phenotype

Infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 22, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 538 of the PLA2G6 protein (p.Arg538His). This variant is present in population databases (rs535486098, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy and/or Parkinson disease (PMID: 27146152, 27196560, 32771225). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 159739). 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 PLA2G6 protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Arg538Cys amino acid residue in PLA2G6. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 16783378, 24252552, 32771225; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submittercurationBroad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and HarvardJan 24, 2023The p.Arg538His variant in PLA2G6 has been reported in 5 individuals with PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration (PMID: 27196560, 27146152, 33144682, Agarwal_2020, 32771225), segregated with disease in 2 affected relatives from 2 families (Agarwal_2020) and has been identified in 0.007% (2/30616) of South Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs535486098). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID#: 159739) and has been interpreted as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by Genetic Services Laboratory (University of Chicago), Neuberg Supratech Reference Laboratories Pvt Ltd (Neuberg Centre for Genomic Medicine), GeneDx, and Invitae. Of the 5 affected individuals, 4 of those were homozygotes, which increases the likelihood that the p.Arg538His variant is pathogenic (PMID: 27196560, 27146152, 33144682, Agarwal_2020). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. The phenotype of an individual homozygous for this variant is highly specific for PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration based on brain iron accumulation on MRI consistent with disease (PMID: 27196560). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, PM3, PP1, PP4 (Richards 2015). -
Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation 2B Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNeuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM-The missense variant p.R538H in PLA2G6 (NM_003560.4) has been reported previously in individuals with infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD) (Megahed et al, 2016; Kapoor et al, 2016). It has been submitted to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic. Another missense affecting the same amino acid has also been reported to be disease causing (Morgan T et al, 2006). The p.R538H variant is observed in 2/30,616 (0.0065%) alleles from individuals of South Asian background in gnomAD Exomes and in 1/978 (0.1022%) alleles from individuals of South Asian background in 1000 Genomes. The p.R538H missense variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The arginine residue at codon 538 of PLA2G6 is conserved in all mammalian species. The nucleotide c.1613 in PLA2G6 is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
