Genes affected

STAR (HGNC:11359): (steroidogenic acute regulatory protein) The protein encoded by this gene plays a key role in the acute regulation of steroid hormone synthesis by enhancing the conversion of cholesterol into pregnenolone. This protein permits the cleavage of cholesterol into pregnenolone by mediating the transport of cholesterol from the outer mitochondrial membrane to the inner mitochondrial membrane. Mutations in this gene are a cause of congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (CLAH), also called lipoid CAH. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 13. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The frame shift c.135del (p.Ser46AlafsTer63) variant in STAR gene has been submitted to ClinVar as Pathogenic. The variant p.Ser46AlafsTer63 is absent in gnomAD and 1000 Genomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. This variant causes a frameshift starting with codon Serine 46, changes this amino acid to Alanine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 63 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Ser46AlafsTer63. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. Functional studies are required to prove the pathogenicity for the variant, for these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser46Alafs*63) in the STAR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in STAR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 8948562). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (PMID: 9141542). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 36782). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
