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 replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 259 of the CYP27A1 protein (p.Lys259Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs72551317, gnomAD 0.005%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (PMID: 10775536, 22878431). This variant is also known as p.Lys226Arg. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 65898). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt CYP27A1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect CYP27A1 function (PMID: 17697869). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Observed as heterozygous variant in multiple unrelated individuals with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) in published literature; however, a second variant was either not found or phase was not determined with parental testing (Verrips et al., 2000; Lee et al., 2001); In silico analysis suggests this variant may impact gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 16816916, 33370991, 33830582, 17697869, 26643207, 10775536, 27096365, 22878431, 11181744) -
