Genes affected
CYP27A1 (HGNC:2605): (cytochrome P450 family 27 subfamily A member 1) This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This mitochondrial protein oxidizes cholesterol intermediates as part of the bile synthesis pathway. Since the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids is the major route for removing cholesterol from the body, this protein is important for overall cholesterol homeostasis. Mutations in this gene cause cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ala3Cysfs*178) in the CYP27A1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CYP27A1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9392430, 10775536, 26937392). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (PMID: 7860076). This variant is also known as c.6insC. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 65882). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
