Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -7 ACMG points: 2P and 9B. PM2BP4_StrongBP6BS1
The NM_000414.4(HSD17B4):c.1566T>A(p.Ser522Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000791 in 1,604,996 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).
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.

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Variant summary: HSD17B4 c.1566T>A (p.Ser522Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the MaoC-like dehydratase domain (IPR002539) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00044 in 250906 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0059 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within East Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 2 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in HSD17B4 causing D-Bifunctional Protein Deficiency phenotype (0.003). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1566T>A in individuals affected with D-Bifunctional Protein Deficiency and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 226666). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

p.Ser547Arg in exon 19 of HSD17B4: This variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it has been identified in 0.49% (42/8640) of East Asian ch romosomes, including 1 homozygote individual, by the Exome Aggregation Consortiu m (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs184492796). -

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -
