Genes affected

PEX12 (HGNC:8854): (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 12) This gene belongs to the peroxin-12 family. Peroxins (PEXs) are proteins that are essential for the assembly of functional peroxisomes. The peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) are a group of genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive, lethal diseases characterized by multiple defects in peroxisome function. The peroxisomal biogenesis disorders are a heterogeneous group with at least 14 complementation groups and with more than 1 phenotype being observed in cases falling into particular complementation groups. Although the clinical features of PBD patients vary, cells from all PBD patients exhibit a defect in the import of one or more classes of peroxisomal matrix proteins into the organelle. Defects in this gene are a cause of Zellweger syndrome (ZWS). [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.367 CDS is truncated, and there are 2 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 17-35576174-CACTA-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr17-35576174-CACTA-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 371738.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 24, 2024	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser229Argfs*3) in the PEX12 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 131 amino acid(s) of the PEX12 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs62642859, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of peroxisomal biogenesis disorders (PMID: 9090384). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 371738). This variant disrupts a region of the PEX12 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Gln349del) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15542397, 21031596, 33123925). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
