Genes affected

STAR (HGNC:11359): (steroidogenic acute regulatory protein) The protein encoded by this gene plays a key role in the acute regulation of steroid hormone synthesis by enhancing the conversion of cholesterol into pregnenolone. This protein permits the cleavage of cholesterol into pregnenolone by mediating the transport of cholesterol from the outer mitochondrial membrane to the inner mitochondrial membrane. Mutations in this gene are a cause of congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (CLAH), also called lipoid CAH. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 13. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

STAR (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a chain Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein, mitochondrial (size 221) in uniprot entity STAR_HUMAN there are 5 pathogenic changes around while only 2 benign (71%) in NM_000349.3
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.994
• PP5: Variant 8-38146068-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-38146068-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 8988.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
