Genes affected
CYP27A1 (HGNC:2605): (cytochrome P450 family 27 subfamily A member 1) 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 mitochondrial protein oxidizes cholesterol intermediates as part of the bile synthesis pathway. Since the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids is the major route for removing cholesterol from the body, this protein is important for overall cholesterol homeostasis. Mutations in this gene cause cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeSep 01, 2022This sequence change affects codon 339 of the CYP27A1 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CYP27A1 protein. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 5, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (rs200553205, gnomAD 0.05%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with CYP27A1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 284271). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 11, 2022Variant summary: CYP27A1 c.1017G>A (p.Thr339Thr) alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Two predict the variant abolishes a canonical 5' splicing donor site and two predict the variant weakens the same 5' donor site. One submitter in ClinVar (SCV001468517.1) reports that the variant was found in the homozygous state in a 74 year old woman, where RNA analysis revealed no impact on splicing. However, this is yet to be confirmed by published functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 9.3e-05 in 247182 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in CYP27A1 causing Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (9.3e-05 vs 0.0011), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1017G>A in individuals affected with Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Six ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: five classified the variant as of uncertain significance, and one as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
