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]

Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Natera, Inc.	May 24, 2018	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Aug 11, 2022	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 469 of the DHCR7 protein (p.Arg469Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs148660993, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (PMID: 24813812). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 550425). 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 DHCR7 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
