Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_000414.4(HSD17B4):c.31dup(p.Val11GlyfsTer30) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R10R) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

HSD17B4 (HGNC:5213): (hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 4) The protein encoded by this gene is a bifunctional enzyme that is involved in the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway for fatty acids. It also acts as a catalyst for the formation of 3-ketoacyl-CoA intermediates from both straight-chain and 2-methyl-branched-chain fatty acids. Defects in this gene that affect the peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation activity are a cause of D-bifunctional protein deficiency (DBPD). An apparent pseudogene of this gene is present on chromosome 8. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 164 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 5-119452603-C-CG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr5-119452603-C-CG is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 2500745.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with D-bifunctional protein deficiency (MIM#261515) and Perrault syndrome 1 (MIM#233400). (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0201 - Variant is predicted to cause nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) and loss of protein (premature termination codon is located at least 54 nucleotides upstream of the final exon-exon junction). (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0701 - Other premature termination variants comparable to the one identified in this case have very strong previous evidence for pathogenicity. Many NMD-predicted variants in this gene have been reported as likely pathogenic/pathogenic in ClinVar. (SP) 0807 - This variant has no previous evidence of pathogenicity. (I) 0905 - No published segregation evidence has been identified for this variant. (I) 1006 - Clinically accredited laboratory assay shows abnormal function of product not specific to the gene. VLCFA assay showed abnormal result in this individual (personal communication). (SP) 1101 - Very strong and specific phenotype match for this individual. (SP) 1205 - This variant has been shown to be maternally inherited (by trio analysis). (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
