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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr11-71435593-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.991
• PP5: Variant 11-71435593-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr11-71435593-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 552797.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=2, Uncertain_significance=1}. Variant chr11-71435593-G-T is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome Pathogenic:2 Uncertain:1

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Nov 01, 2022	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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 552797). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of DHCR7-related conditions (PMID: 10677299, 10814720, 33578785). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 404 of the DHCR7 protein (p.Arg404Ser). This variant disrupts the p.Arg404 amino acid residue in DHCR7. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9653161, 10677299, 12818773, 15896653). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jun 05, 2024	Variant summary: DHCR7 c.1210C>A (p.Arg404Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.1e-06 in 241396 control chromosomes. c.1210C>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (e.g. Witsch-Baumgartner_2000, Yu_2000, Zaidi_2021). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. A different variant affecting the same codon has been classified as pathogenic by our lab (c.1210C>T, p.Arg404Cys), supporting the critical relevance of codon 404 to DHCR7 protein function. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 552797). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
