RCV001370499 | SCV001567001 | uncertain significance | Peroxisome biogenesis disorder 2B | 2021-08-20 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces methionine with arginine at codon 634 of the PEX5 protein (p.Met634Arg). The methionine residue is weakly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between methionine and arginine. This variant is present in population databases (rs751798701, ExAC 0.002%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PEX5-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. |
