Genes affected

CYP21A2 (HGNC:2600): (cytochrome P450 family 21 subfamily A member 2) This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and hydroxylates steroids at the 21 position. Its activity is required for the synthesis of steroid hormones including cortisol and aldosterone. Mutations in this gene cause congenital adrenal hyperplasia. A related pseudogene is located near this gene; gene conversion events involving the functional gene and the pseudogene are thought to account for many cases of steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.88).
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 2 AR geneVariant has number of homozygotes lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

The CYP21A2 c.-73C>T variant is located in the 5' untranslated region. This variant has been reported in an individual with polycystic ovary syndrome (Polat et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30811025). This variant is reported in 0.12% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/6-32006127-C-T). However, this minor allele frequency may not be an accurate estimate because this variant is located within a highly homologous sequence region (Mandelker et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27228465). Of note, promoter variants in CYP21A2 have been reported to reduce transcriptional activities and therefore possibly associated to milder disease expressivity (Zhang et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 18702679; Araújo et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17666484). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
