Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3_ModeratePP5
The NM_000414.4(HSD17B4):c.367C>T(p.His123Tyr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,457,854 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 Lovd as Pathogenic (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. H123D) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.
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.
