Genes affected
PEX26 (HGNC:22965): (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 26) This gene belongs to the peroxin-26 gene family. It is probably required for protein import into peroxisomes. It anchors PEX1 and PEX6 to peroxisome membranes, possibly to form heteromeric AAA ATPase complexes required for the import of proteins into peroxisomes. Defects in this gene are the cause of peroxisome biogenesis disorder complementation group 8 (PBD-CG8). PBD refers to a group of peroxisomal disorders arising from a failure of protein import into the peroxisomal membrane or matrix. The PBD group is comprised of four disorders: Zellweger syndrome (ZWS), neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD), infantile Refsum disease (IRD), and classical rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]

This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the PEX26 mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 96. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individual(s) with PEX26-related conditions (PMID: 12851857). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2156). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on gene product structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that disruption of the initiator codon affects PEX26 function (PMID: 12851857). This variant disrupts a region of the PEX26 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Gly89Arg) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12851857). 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. -

The PEX26 c.2T>C (p.Met1?) variant is predicted to disrupt the initiator codon and thus may interfere with protein expression. This variant has been reported in two individuals with infantile Refsum disease, both of whom were compound heterozygous for this variant and the same missense variant (Matsumoto et al. 2003; Weller et al. 2005). Another variant (c.3T>C) that results in the same protein consequence has been reported in a compound heterozygous state in an individual with hearing loss and enamel defects, consistent with Heimler syndrome (Neuhaus et al. 2017). The p.Met1? variant was absent from 106 control chromosomes but is reported at a frequency of 0.000062 in the East Asian population of the Genome Aggregation Database. However, this frequency is based on one allele in a region of good sequencing coverage, so the variant is presumed to be rare. Studies in patient and non-patient cells have demonstrated that the variant impairs protein function, including less effective recruitment of Pex1p-Pex6p complexes to peroxisomes and reduced peroxisomal protein import (Matsumoto et al. 2003; Weller et al. 2005; Furuki et al. 2006). Due to the potential impact of initiator codon variants and the available literature, the p.Met1? variant is classified as likely pathogenic for Zellweger syndrome spectrum. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
