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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 06, 2022The p.Q157* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.469C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the TMEM127 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 469. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 3. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of the TMEM127 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and impacts the last 82 amino acids (34%) of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and a significant portion of the protein is affected (Ambry internal data). This alteration has been reported in one of 642 unrelated patients with pheochromocytoma (PCC) and/or paraganglioma (PGL) who did not carry mutations in major PCC susceptibility genes (Abermil N et al. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 2012 May;97:E805-9). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
Hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 18, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln157*) in the TMEM127 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 82 amino acid(s) of the TMEM127 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs780133289, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with pheochromocytoma (PMID: 22419703; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 463849). This variant disrupts a region of the TMEM127 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Gln159*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 20154675; Invitae). 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. -
