Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000197.2(HSD17B3):c.238C>T(p.Arg80Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000136 in 1,613,892 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R80Q) has been classified as Pathogenic.

Testosterone 17-beta-dehydrogenase deficiency    Pathogenic:4 
The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.003%). Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.80; 3Cnet: 0.92). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change (ClinVar ID: VCV000004877 / PMID: 24025597 ) and a different missense change at the same codon (p.Arg80Gln; ClinVar ID: VCV000004874 ) have been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence. Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
Variant summary: HSD17B3 c.238C>T (p.Arg80Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 251118 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.238C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Testosterone 17-beta-dehydrogenase deficiency (e.g. Bilbao_1998, Omrani_2011). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 9758445, 22212252). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4877). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The HSD17B3 c.238C>T (p.Arg80Trp) variant has been reported in five studies and is found in a total of eight individuals with 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase III deficiency, including six who carried the variant in a homozygous state and two who carried the variant in a compound heterozygous state (Bilbao et al. 1998; Bertelloni et al. 2009; Omrani et al. 2011; George et al. 2011; Chuang et al. 2013). The variant has also been reported in a heterozygous state in at least eight unaffected family members and shown to segregate with disease in an autosomal recessive fashion (Bilbao et al. 1998; Omrani et al. 2011; George et al. 2011). The p.Arg80Trp variant was absent from 42 controls and is reported at a frequency of 0.00005 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. Based on the evidence, the p.Arg80Trp variant is classified as pathogenic for 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase III deficiency. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 80 of the HSD17B3 protein (p.Arg80Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs119481077, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with male pseudohermaphroditism with gynecomastia (PMID: 9758445, 21214500, 22212252, 27899157). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 4877). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt HSD17B3 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (PMID: 9758445). This variant disrupts the p.Arg80 amino acid residue in HSD17B3. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8075637, 8626842, 12429500, 17551466). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
