HSD17B3

protein-coding

hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 3, the group of Short chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily

Gene summary

This isoform of 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase is expressed predominantly in the testis and catalyzes the conversion of androstenedione to testosterone. It preferentially uses NADP as cofactor. Deficiency can result in male pseudohermaphroditism with gynecomastia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Manifestation: Endocrine; Genitourinary

Intervention: Endocrine; Genitourinary

Rationale: Prepubertal diagnosis may allow surgical treatment via removal of abnormal testes, preventing typical presenting clinical signs in puberty (marked masculinization and hirsutism)

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_000197.2. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.
