Genes affected
PEX6 (HGNC:8859): (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 6) This gene encodes a member of the AAA (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) family of ATPases. This member is a predominantly cytoplasmic protein, which plays a direct role in peroxisomal protein import and is required for PTS1 (peroxisomal targeting signal 1, a C-terminal tripeptide of the sequence ser-lys-leu) receptor activity. Mutations in this gene cause peroxisome biogenesis disorders of complementation group 4 and complementation group 6. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

Peroxisome biogenesis disorder Pathogenic:2
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpOct 18, 2022Variant summary: PEX6 c.311delG (p.Gly104ValfsX22) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.8e-05 in 112824 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publication data). c.311delG has been reported in the literature in at least one compound heterozygous individual affected with Zellweger Syndrome (Ebberink_2010). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic (n=3) and likely pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 13, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly104Valfs*22) in the PEX6 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PEX6 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10408779, 21031596, 31831025). This variant is present in population databases (rs61753209, gnomAD 0.005%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with PEX6-related disorders (PMID: 19877282). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 499109). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJan 11, 2024The PEX6 c.311delG variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Gly104Valfs*22). This variant has been reported in an individual with Zellweger syndrome (Table 2, Ebberink et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 19877282). This variant is reported in 0.0052% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Frameshift variants in PEX6 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
