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]

ASH2L (HGNC:744): (ASH2 like, histone lysine methyltransferase complex subunit) Enables beta-catenin binding activity and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Contributes to histone methyltransferase activity (H3-K4 specific). Involved in histone H3-K4 methylation; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and response to estrogen. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to DNA damage stimulus. Located in nucleus. Part of MLL3/4 complex and Set1C/COMPASS complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 5 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 8-38144329-C-CA is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-38144329-C-CA is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 551209.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
