Genes affected
SRD5A2 (HGNC:11285): (steroid 5 alpha-reductase 2) This gene encodes a microsomal protein expressed at high levels in androgen-sensitive tissues such as the prostate. The encoded protein is active at acidic pH and is sensitive to the 4-azasteroid inhibitor finasteride. Deficiencies in this gene can result in male pseudohermaphroditism, specifically pseudovaginal perineoscrotal hypospadias (PPSH). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 212 of the SRD5A2 protein (p.Pro212Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs121434252, gnomAD 0.04%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with disorders of sex development (PMID: 8110760, 8262007, 9135696, 10718838, 10999800, 20019388). It is commonly reported in individuals of Mexican ancestry (PMID: 8110760, 8262007, 9135696, 10718838, 10999800, 20019388). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3348). 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 SRD5A2 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects SRD5A2 function (PMID: 8110760, 24665940). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: SRD5A2 c.635C>G (p.Ala212Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. The variant was absent in 248946 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.635C>G in individuals affected with 3-Oxo-5 alpha-steroid delta 4-dehydrogenase deficiency and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. No submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
