Genes affected
CYP21A2 (HGNC:2600): (cytochrome P450 family 21 subfamily A member 2) 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 protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and hydroxylates steroids at the 21 position. Its activity is required for the synthesis of steroid hormones including cortisol and aldosterone. Mutations in this gene cause congenital adrenal hyperplasia. A related pseudogene is located near this gene; gene conversion events involving the functional gene and the pseudogene are thought to account for many cases of steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Variant summary: CYP21A2 c.49C>T (p.Arg17Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.1e-05 in 186390 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.49C>T has been reported in the literature as a heterozygous genotype in at-least one individual with a suspicion of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (example, de Paula_2016). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (de Paula_2016). The most pronounced variant effect results in >80%-90% of normal CYP21A2 activity in vitro. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32616876, 27721825). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The missense c.49C>T p.Arg17Cys variant in the CYP21A2 gene has been reported in heterozygous carriers and it demonstrated a very mild reduction in enzyme activity, de Paula Michelatto, Débora et al.,2016. This variant is reported with the allele frequency 0.001% in the gnomAD Exomes and novel in 1000 Genomes. It is submitted to ClinVar as Uncertain Significance. The amino acid Arginine at position 17 is changed to a Cystine changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. The amino acid change p.Arg17Cys in CYP21A2 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance. -
