Red List (low evidence)

PMID: 32399598 (phenotypic expansion) - One patient with compound heterozygous missense variants in PEX6. The initial syndromic presentation of premature ovarian insufficiency and associated hearing loss led to the clinical diagnosis of Perrault syndrome. For the first time, we show that pathogenic variants in PEX6 can present clinically as Perrault syndrome.

Green List (high evidence)

PBD - 4A: more severe disease w/ PTCs, null or minimal activity

HS: less severe, 1 allele w/ residual activity

PBD – 4B: Recurring missense (p.R860W) causes AD disease. Disease depends on if a common UTR variant controlling allelic imbalance is het.
