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]

Congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia due to STAR deficency Pathogenic:1

not provided Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 05, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp250*) in the STAR gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 36 amino acid(s) of the STAR protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (PMID: 10323391, 20444910, 23211570, 26523528). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 8991). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. This variant disrupts a region of the STAR protein in which other variant(s) (p.Gln258*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8948562, 9097960, 22028173, 28467518). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
