Genes affected
DHCR7 (HGNC:2860): (7-dehydrocholesterol reductase) This gene encodes an enzyme that removes the C(7-8) double bond in the B ring of sterols and catalyzes the conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to cholesterol. This gene is ubiquitously expressed and its transmembrane protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and nuclear outer membrane. Mutations in this gene cause Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS); a syndrome that is metabolically characterized by reduced serum cholesterol levels and elevated serum 7-dehydrocholesterol levels and phenotypically characterized by cognitive disability, facial dysmorphism, syndactyly of second and third toes, and holoprosencephaly in severe cases to minimal physical abnormalities and near-normal intelligence in mild cases. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]

Collection Method:clinical testing

Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000006781, PMID:9683613, PS1_S). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.972, 3CNET: 0.993, PP3_P). A missense variant is a common mechanism associated with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (PP2_P). It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.000032, PM2_M). Therefore, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 244 of the DHCR7 protein (p.Gly244Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs121909764, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (PMID: 9683613, 12270273, 12818773, 23293579). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6781). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt DHCR7 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The DHCR7 c.730G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly244Arg. This variant has been reported in the compound heterozygous state in several individuals with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (Waterham et al. 1998. PubMed ID: 9683613; Balogh et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 23293579; Korade et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28972118). This variant is reported in 0.020% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
