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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 07, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg119*) in the PEX2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 187 amino acid(s) of the PEX2 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs61752123, gnomAD 0.3%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Zellweger spectrum disorders (PMID: 1546315, 7681622, 9452066, 9585609, 10528859, 15542397, 21465523, 23430938). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13704). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 15542397, 1546315 and 14630978. Classification of NM_000318.2(PEX2):c.355C>T(R119*) is based on the following criteria: The variant causes a premature termination codon that is not expected to be targeted by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay; however, literature evidence strongly supports pathogenicity. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 31, 2017Variant summary: The PEX2 c.355C>T (p.Arg119X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent PEX2 protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. One in silico tool predicts a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in the large control database ExAC and control cohorts in the literature at a frequency of 0.0002708 (34/125548 control chromosomes), which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic PEX2 variant (0.001118). Several publications have cited the variant in patients with diagnoses that are confirmed with standard biochemical tests. Additionally, a functional study demonstrated a lack of peroxisome formation via immunofluorescence in cultured fibroblasts of a patient who was homozygous for the variant of interest (Imamura_AJHG_1998). Furthermore, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
