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]

not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoDec 24, 2022The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000012 (3/251448 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in an individual with renal cell carcinoma (PMID: 24334765 (2014)). A functional study found that this variant did not impact protein function (PMID: 24334765 (2014)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is deleterious or benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 13, 2022The p.P118L variant (also known as c.353C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the TMEM127 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 353. The proline at codon 118 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in one individual diagnosed with clear cell renal cell carcinoma at age 60 and having no family history of renal cell carcinoma (Qin Y et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2014 May;23:2428-39). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 19, 2024This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 118 of the TMEM127 protein (p.Pro118Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs769359648, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with renal cell carcinoma (PMID: 24334765, 33051659). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 486542). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect TMEM127 function (PMID: 24334765). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
