Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000287.4(PEX6):c.2578C>T(p.Arg860Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R860Q) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

not provided, no classification provided	literature only	GeneReviews	-	Assoc w/ZSD in the heterozygous state, acting in an apparent dominant fashion due to allelic expression imbalance assoc w/common variant NM_000287.3:c.*442_445delTAAA in the 3-prime UTR that disrupts 1 of 2 polyadenylation sites. Persons who have c.*442_445delTAAA on both chromosomes are unaffected; but those who have c.2578C>T (p.Arg860Trp) on the c.*442_445delTAAA background but lack c.*442_445delTAAA on the opposite chromosome have a 2- to 3-fold-increase in abnormal PEX6 (compared to controls) & biochemical & clinical features consistent w/ZSD. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Oct 17, 2023	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 860 of the PEX6 protein (p.Arg860Trp). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant Zellweger spectrum, having arisen de novo in three of them (PMID: 19105186, 29220678). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 492968). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on PEX6 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PEX6 function (PMID: 29220678). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
