Gene: PEX3
As discussed with members of the GMS Neurology Specialist Test Group on the Webex call 22nd November 2019 for Clinical Indication R59 Early onset or syndromic epilepsy: Agreed that PEX genes are better tested through the metabolic panel, and should be demoted to Amber.Created: 26 Nov 2019, 3:36 p.m. | Last Modified: 26 Nov 2019, 3:36 p.m.

AR Perioxisome biogenesis disorder 10A and 10B. 10A: Muntau et al, 2000 - 2 unrelated patients with Zellweger syndrome - in both seizures developed very early in life - 2 diff hom mutations in the PEX3 gene. Bjorgo et l, 2017 - whole exome seq of adults with ID revealed a hom splicing variant in PEX3 thought to be milder pheno as the transcript is still producing a protein with residual activity. 10B: Maxit et al, 9 year old boy had had 23 isolated seizure-like episodes amongst other features. compound het PEX3 mutations, carried by unaff parents. No functional studies. Patient cells showed a mosaic pattern of catalase pos particles and peroxisomal membrane structures - consistent with a milder pheno.Created: 6 Aug 2019, 8:31 p.m. | Last Modified: 6 Aug 2019, 8:31 p.m.
