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:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing3billionFeb 23, 2023The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.005%). This variant was predicted to result in a loss or disruption of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) or protein truncation. Multiple pathogenic variants are reported downstream of the variant. It has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (PMID: 16783378). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingBaylor GeneticsSep 01, 2017This variant has been previously reported as disease-causing and was found twice in our laboratory in trans with another variant in affected individuals: a 4-year-old female with regression,hypotonia, strabismus; a 5-year-old female with regression, hearing loss, vision loss, hypotonia, joint contactures. Heterozygotes would be expected to be asymptomatic carriers. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 22, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg635*) in the PLA2G6 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PLA2G6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 16783378, 18570303, 18799783, 22213678). This variant is present in population databases (rs587784339, gnomAD 0.009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy and neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (PMID: 16783378, 22934738, 24108619, 25164370). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 159749). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineApr 27, 2016The p.Arg635X variant in PLA2G6 has been reported in 4 individuals with PLA2G6-a ssociated neurodegeneration, including one homozygote and 3 compound heterozygot es (Morgan 2006, Romani 2014, Sawyer 2014). Data from large population studies is insufficient to assess the frequency of this variant. This nonsense variant l eads to a premature termination codon at position 635 which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. In summary, this variant meets our criteria t o be classified as pathogenic for PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration in an auto somal recessive manner. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submittercurationBroad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and HarvardJan 24, 2023The p.Arg635Ter variant in PLA2G6 has been reported in at least 7 individuals with PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration (PMID: 16783378, 18799783, 22934738, 29859652, 25164370), segregated with disease in 1 affected relative from 1 family (PMID: 25164370), and has been identified in 0.008% (1/11852) of East Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs587784339). 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#: 159749) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by multiple labs. Of the 7 affected individuals, 3 of those were homozygotes, which increases the likelihood that the p.Arg635Ter variant is pathogenic (PMID: 16783378, 18799783, 22934738 29859652). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 635, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the PLA2G6 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM3, PM2_supporting (Richards 2015). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaFeb 07, 2020The PLA2G6 c.1903C>T (p.Arg635Ter) variant is a stop-gained variant predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. The p.Arg635Ter variant has been reported in at least five studies, in which it is found in a total of seven unrelated individuals, including in three in a homozygous state and in four in a compound heterozygous state (Morgan et al. 2006; Zhang et al. 2013; Sawyer et al. 2014; Romani et al. 2015; Darling et al. 2019). The clinical presentation of affected individuals was infant-onset of psychomotor regression or delay, hypotonia, strabismus, nystagmus, cerebellar atrophy, and variable brain iron accumulation. Control data are unavailable for this variant, which is reported at a frequency of 0.000051 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Genome Aggregation Database. Based on the collective evidence and application of the ACMG criteria, the p.Arg635Ter variant is classified as pathogenic for PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration. -
