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]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 23, 2024Variant summary: PEX6 c.2435G>A (p.Arg812Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the AAA+ ATPase domain (IPR003593) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251484 control chromosomes. c.2435G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Zellweger Syndrome (e.g. Zhang_1999, Ebberink_2010). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and found the variant results in the inability to rescue peroxisome biogenesis activity in deficient cells (Zhang_1999). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 19877282, 10408779). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555170). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 14, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 812 of the PEX6 protein (p.Arg812Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs61753229, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Zellweger syndrome (PMID: 10408779, 19877282). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 555170). 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 PEX6 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PEX6 function (PMID: 10408779). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. This variant disrupts the p.Arg812 amino acid residue in PEX6. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with PEX6-related conditions (PMID: 19877282), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
