Genes affected

PEX2 (HGNC:9717): (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 2) This gene encodes an integral peroxisomal membrane protein required for peroxisome biogenesis. The protein is thought to be involved in peroxisomal matrix protein import. Mutations in this gene result in one form of Zellweger syndrome and infantile Refsum disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.984
• PP5: Variant 8-76984016-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-76984016-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 13705.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Variant summary: PEX2 c.163G>A (p.Glu55Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change to a highly conserved residue (HGMD) located in the Pex, N-terminal (IPR006845) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251214 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.163G>A has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with Refsum disease who was compound heterozygous with a pathogenic variant (Imamura_1998, Shimozawa_1999). These data suggest the variant may be associated with disease. At least two publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, finding that cells expressing the variant protein showed partially reduced enzymatic activity and recapitulated the catalase-less persoxisomes seen in patient cells (Fujiwara_2000, Shimozawa_1999). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 9585609, 10528859, 10960480). No submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
