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 Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome Pathogenic:4

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	curation	Laboratory of Medical Genetics, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens	Feb 01, 2024	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jul 25, 2023	This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 109 of the DHCR7 protein (p.Leu109Pro). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. 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: 550951). This missense change has been observed in individuals with Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome (PMID: 10677299, 10995508, 11427181, 17441222). This variant is present in population databases (rs121912195, gnomAD 0.007%). -

The p.L109P variant (also known as c.326T>C), located in coding exon 3 of the DHCR7 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 326. The leucine at codon 109 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with a diagnosis of Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) and second pathogenic mutation, (Witsch-Baumgartner M, Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2000 Feb; 66(2):402-12; Krakowiak PA, Am. J. Med. Genet. 2000 Sep; 94(3):214-27; Jira PE, Ann. Hum. Genet. 2001 May; 65(Pt 3):229-36; Jezela-Stanek A, J. Inherit. Metab. Dis. 2010 Dec; 33 Suppl 3:S241-8a); only one report confirmed this variant and the second pathogenic mutation to be in trans (Balogh I, Mol Syndromol 2012 Nov; 3(5):215-22). This variant was previously reported in the SNPDatabase as rs121912195. Based on data from the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), no alterations were observed among 12988 alleles tested (0.0%). Allele frequency data for this nucleotide position is not currently available from the 1000 Genomes Project. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be possibly damaging and deleterious by PolyPhen and SIFT in silico analyses, respectively. . -
