Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000784.4(CYP27A1):c.1435C>T(p.Arg479Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000632 in 1,614,024 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R479G) has been classified as Pathogenic.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 479 of the CYP27A1 protein (p.Arg479Cys). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individuals with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (PMID: 2019602, 21073839, 24584636). This variant is also known as p.Arg446Cys. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4254). 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 expected to disrupt CYP27A1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CYP27A1 function (PMID: 2019602). This variant disrupts the p.Arg479 amino acid residue in CYP27A1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with CYP27A1-related conditions (PMID: 16278884, 29095540), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: CYP27A1 c.1435C>T (p.Arg479Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.4e-05 in 250796 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in CYP27A1 causing Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (4.4e-05 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1435C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (examples: Cali_1991, Lee_2001, Ginanneschi_2013). Functional studies have shown that the variant impairs enzyme function in vitro (Cali_1991). Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Three submitters classified as pathogenic while two classified as VUS. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect; the R479C reduces enzyme activity and impairs heme function (PMID: 17697869, 2019602); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 34426522, 31589614, 2019602, 32344004, 25112387, 21073839, 24584636, 31796091, 16816916, 33967188, 26643207, 20414172, 34689324, 36294757, 22878431, 34493867, 24002088, 17697869) -

CYP27A1-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The CYP27A1 c.1435C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg479Cys. This variant, also referred at as p.Arg446Cys in the literature, has been reported in both homozygous and compound heterozygous states and is known to be causative for cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (Cali et al. 1991. PubMed ID: 2019602; Mandrile et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24584636). This variant is located within the protein domain cytochrome P450 and this substitution likely affects ferredoxin binding (Gupta et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17697869). This variant is reported in 0.015% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
