Genes affected
DHCR7 (HGNC:2860): (7-dehydrocholesterol reductase) This gene encodes an enzyme that removes the C(7-8) double bond in the B ring of sterols and catalyzes the conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to cholesterol. This gene is ubiquitously expressed and its transmembrane protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and nuclear outer membrane. Mutations in this gene cause Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS); a syndrome that is metabolically characterized by reduced serum cholesterol levels and elevated serum 7-dehydrocholesterol levels and phenotypically characterized by cognitive disability, facial dysmorphism, syndactyly of second and third toes, and holoprosencephaly in severe cases to minimal physical abnormalities and near-normal intelligence in mild cases. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]

Variant summary: DHCR7 c.862G>A (p.Glu288Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Transmembrane region (Peng_2018) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. A recent study using computational investigation to model the effect on protein and make predictions on SLOS phenotype based on structural and conservation properties reported this variant among Pathogenic alterations in the DHCR7 gene based on lower Relative solvent accesible surface area (rSASA), and higher evolutionary conservation (EC) compared with non-pathogenic variants (example, Peng_2018). This supports the notion of a critical amino acid residue essential for protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251000 control chromosomes. c.862G>A has been reported in the literature as a compound heterozygous genotype in at-least one individual affected with Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome while an earlier mutational update lists this variant among mutations in patients with Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome without specifying a genotype/zygosity (example, Romano_2005, Witsch-Baumgartner_2001). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29300326, 16392899, 11241839). Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 (LP, n=2; VUS, n=4). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 288 of the DHCR7 protein (p.Glu288Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs565893436, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome (PMID: 16392899). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 500764). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt DHCR7 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

The DHCR7 c.862G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu288Lys. This variant has been reported in a cohort of individuals with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, though no additional information was provided on variant zygosity or patient genotype (Witsch-Baumgartner et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11241839). It was also reported in the compound heterozygous state with a second DHCR7 variant (p.Ile251Asn) in an individual with Smith-Lemli Opitz syndrome (Romano et al. 2005. PubMed ID: 16392899). This variant is reported in 0.0058% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -

The alteration results in an amino acid change:_x000D_ _x000D_ The c.862G>A (p.E288K) alteration is located in exon 8 (coding exon 6) of the DHCR7 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 862, causing the glutamic acid (E) at amino acid position 288 to be replaced by a lysine (K). The alteration is rare in population databases: _x000D_ _x000D_ Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), the c.862G>A alteration was observed in 0.0016% (4/25100) of total alleles studied. The alteration has been observed in affected individuals:_x000D_ _x000D_ This alteration has been described from a cohort of individuals with SLOS, as well as occurring in trans with a second missense variant in one individual with a severe phenotype (Romano, 2005; Witsch-Baumgartner, 2001). The altered amino acid is conserved throughout evolution:_x000D_ _x000D_ The p.E288 amino acid is conserved in available vertebrate species. The amino acid is located in a structurally important protein domain:_x000D_ _x000D_ The p.E288K amino acid is located in the transmembrane domain 6 (TM6) and causes changes in protein dynamics which might lead to protein dysfunction (Peng 2018). The alteration is predicted deleterious by in silico modeling:_x000D_ _x000D_ The p.E288K alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
