Genes affected

DBH (HGNC:2689): (dopamine beta-hydroxylase) The protein encoded by this gene is an oxidoreductase belonging to the copper type II, ascorbate-dependent monooxygenase family. The encoded protein, expressed in neuroscretory vesicles and chromaffin granules of the adrenal medulla, catalyzes the conversion of dopamine to norepinephrine, which functions as both a hormone and as the main neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nervous system. The enzyme encoded by this gene exists exists in both soluble and membrane-bound forms, depending on the absence or presence, respectively, of a signal peptide. Mutations in this gene cause dopamine beta-hydroxylate deficiency in human patients, characterized by deficits in autonomic and cardiovascular function, including hypotension and ptosis. Polymorphisms in this gene may play a role in a variety of psychiatric disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu500Argfs*53) in the DBH gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DBH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 7715704, 15060114). This variant is present in population databases (rs757399972, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DBH-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
