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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 27, 2017The CYP27A1 c.1016C>T (p.Thr339Met) variant has been reported in six studies in which it was found in a homozygous state in five individuals and in a compound heterozygous state in four individuals, all with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, and in a heterozygous state in four unaffected family members (Reshef et al. 1994; Guyant-Marechal et al. 2005; Pilo-de-la-Fuente et al. 2011; Caroppo et al. 2013; Schabhuttl et al. 2014; Huidekoper et al. 2016). The p.Thr339Met variant was absent from 100 controls and is reported at a frequency of 0.00003 in the total population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. The Thr306 residue is conserved and located in the heme-binding site of the protein. Based on the evidence, the p.Thr339Met variant is classified as pathogenic for cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 23, 2024This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 339 of the CYP27A1 protein (p.Thr339Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908102, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (PMID: 8014582, 24627108, 26156051, 27858369). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as p.Thr306Met. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4266). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing3billionMay 22, 2022The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.009%). Protein truncation variants are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.94; 3Cnet: 0.74). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000004266). The variant has been reported to be in trans with a pathogenic variant as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least 2 similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 24627108, 26156051, 27858369) and to co-segregate with the disease in at least one similarly affected relative/individual in the same family or similarly affected unrelated family (PMID:8014582). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

The p.(Thr339Met) was detected in trans with a pathogenic variant (PMID: 27142713; 26156051; 24627108; 23212406; 16278884) - PM3_very strong Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product - PP3. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic. -

CYP27A1-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesNov 29, 2023The CYP27A1 c.1016C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Thr339Met. Using legacy nomenclature, this variant is also known in the literature as p.Thr306Met. This variant has been reported in several patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (Family #202 in Reshef et al 1994. PubMed ID: 8014582; Schabhüttl et al 2014. PubMed ID: 24627108; Guyant-Maréchal et al 2005. PubMed ID: 16278884; Huidekoper et al 2015. PubMed ID: 26156051). This variant is reported in 0.012% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD and has been interpreted as pathogenic or likely pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/4266). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
