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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 09, 2024Variant summary: DHCR7 c.400G>T (p.Val134Leu) results in a conservative amino acid change in 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 7.2e-05 in 249662 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00081 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in DHCR7 causing Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (7.2e-05 vs 0.0043), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.400G>T has been reported in the literature in unspecified individuals affected with Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome, without strong evidence for causality (Waterham_2012). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23042628). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 93718). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 04, 2018The p.V134L variant (also known as c.400G>T), located in coding exon 3 of the DHCR7 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 400. The valine at codon 134 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was identified and considered causative in one study; however, no information regarding patient phenotype or second allele genotype was provided (Waterham HR et al. Am J Med Genet C Semin Med Genet, 2012 Nov;160C:263-84; Cross JL et al. Clin. Genet., 2015 Jun;87:570-5). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
