Genes affected
CYP21A2 (HGNC:2600): (cytochrome P450 family 21 subfamily A member 2) This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and hydroxylates steroids at the 21 position. Its activity is required for the synthesis of steroid hormones including cortisol and aldosterone. Mutations in this gene cause congenital adrenal hyperplasia. A related pseudogene is located near this gene; gene conversion events involving the functional gene and the pseudogene are thought to account for many cases of steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
TNXB (HGNC:11976): (tenascin XB) This gene encodes a member of the tenascin family of extracellular matrix glycoproteins. The tenascins have anti-adhesive effects, as opposed to fibronectin which is adhesive. This protein is thought to function in matrix maturation during wound healing, and its deficiency has been associated with the connective tissue disorder Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. This gene localizes to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region on chromosome 6. It is one of four genes in this cluster which have been duplicated. The duplicated copy of this gene is incomplete and is a pseudogene which is transcribed but does not encode a protein. The structure of this gene is unusual in that it overlaps the CREBL1 and CYP21A2 genes at its 5' and 3' ends, respectively. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The CYP21A2 c.1451G>A (p.Arg484Gln) variant (also known as R484Q and R483Q) has been reported in the published literature in several individuals affected with 21 hydroxylase deficiency (PMIDs: 33864926 (2021), 30048636 (2018), 24667412 (2014), 24790362 (2008)) with either a simple virilizing (PMIDs: 32289882 (2020), 17119906 (2007)) or a nonclassic (PMIDs: 30968594 (2019), 19208730 (2009), 12915679 (2003)) phenotype. Functional studies show the variant has severely reduced activity, 1.1-1.89% activity for17-OHP and 2-3.8% activity for progesterone, compared to the wild-type (PMIDs: 24790362 (2008), 17119906 (2007)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0000088 (2/227246 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is located in a genomic region of low or unreliable sequencing quality, and therefore estimations of its population frequency are uninformative in assessment of variant pathogenicity. (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. (PMID: 17119906, 24790362) In multiple individuals, this variant has been seen with a single recessive pathogenic variant in the same gene, suggesting this variant may also be pathogenic. At least one other missense variant at this codon is considered to be pathogenic or likely pathogenic, suggesting this variant may also cause disease. -

Variant summary: CYP21A2 c.1451G>A (p.Arg484Gln) results in a 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 allele was found at a frequency of 8.8e-06 in 227246 control chromosomes. c.1451G>A has been observed in individual(s) affected with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (example: Stikkelbroeck_2003, Concolino_2021, Gao_2021, Wan_2023). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. A different variant affecting the same codon has been classified as likely pathogenic by our lab (c.1450C>T, p.Arg484Trp), supporting the critical relevance of codon 484 to CYP21A2 protein function. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 12915679, 36167262, 33710594, 33301636). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 585750). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
