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]

Variant summary: DHCR7 c.292C>T (p.Gln98X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was observed with an allele frequency of 3.3e-05 in 274916 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publications). This frequency is not higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in DHCR7 causing Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (3.3e-05 vs 0.0043), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.292C>T, has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (Cardoso_2005, Correa-Cerro_2005, Roullet_2012, Witsch-Baumgartner_2005, Lanthaler_2013, Eroglu_2017). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in <10% of normal activity. A ClinVar submission from a clinical diagnostic laboratory (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as "pathogenic." Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln98*) in the DHCR7 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in DHCR7 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9634533, 10677299). This variant is present in population databases (rs104886039, gnomAD 0.009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with Smith‚ÄìLemli‚ÄìOpitz syndrome (PMID: 15776424, 15805162, 15979035, 22929031). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188723). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
