Genes affected

TMEM127 (HGNC:26038): (transmembrane protein 127) This gene encodes a transmembrane protein with four predicted transmembrane domains. The protein is associated with a subpopulation of vesicular organelles corresponding to early endosomal structures, with the Golgi, and with lysosomes, and may participate in protein trafficking between these structures. Mutations in this gene and several other genes cause pheochromocytomas. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2022]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 8 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-96254933-GC-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-96254933-GC-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 165445.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr2-96254933-GC-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

The p.Gly103fs variant in TMEM127 has been identified in 1 individual with pheoc hromocytomas and renal cell carcinoma (Hernandez 2015, LMM data). It has not be en identified in large population studies. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 103 and leads to a premature termination codon 21 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Multiple heterozygous variants in TMEM127 leading to a frameshift and predicted truncate d or absent protein have been reported in individuals with pheochromocytomas. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinic al significance, the p.Gly103fs variant is likely pathogenic. -
