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]

Variant summary: DHCR7 c.89G>C (p.Gly30Ala) 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 6.4e-05 in 251594 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in DHCR7 causing Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (6.4e-05 vs 0.0043), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.89G>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (Blahakova_2007, Haas_2007, Gabriel_2022). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23042628, 17497248, 17994283, 34958143). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 397518). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 30 of the DHCR7 protein (p.Gly30Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs200334114, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of DHCR7-related conditions (PMID: 17497248, 17994283, 34958143). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 397518). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt DHCR7 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

The c.89G>C (p.G30A) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 1) of the DHCR7 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 89, causing the glycine (G) at amino acid position 30 to be replaced by an alanine (A). Based on data from gnomAD, the C allele has an overall frequency of 0.006% (18/282898) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.014% (18/129194) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This variant has been identified in conjunction with another DHCR7 variant in one individual with Smith-Lemli-Opitz confirmed by sterol analysis, in one individual with corpus callosum agenesis and ventriculomegaly, and in the fetus of one pregnant individual with increased 7-DHCR in amniotic fluid (Haas, 2007; Blahakova, 2007; Gabriel, 2022). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -

The DHCR7 c.89G>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly30Ala. This variant has been reported, along with a second causative variant, in two patients with biochemically diagnosed Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) (Haas et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17497248). It has also been observed along with a second causative variant in a prenatal case with biochemical test results consistent with SLOS (i.e. elevated 7-dehydrocholesterol in the amniotic fluid) (Blahakova et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17994283). In addition, the c.89G>C variant was identified, along with a nonsense variant in DHCR7 gene, in a fetus with corpus callosum agenesis, and ventriculomegaly (Table S1, Gabriel et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 34958143). This variant is reported in 0.014% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/11-71155910-C-G). This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
