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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpSep 13, 2021Variant summary: CYP27A1 c.646G>C (p.Ala216Pro) 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 is located at the last nucleotide of exon 3. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. Four predict the variant abolishes a 3' acceptor site. Experimental studies report this variant to affect mRNA splicing (Garuti_1996). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 251286 control chromosomes. c.646G>C has been reported in the literature in numerous individuals affected with Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis both in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state (Garuti_1996, Bartholdi_2004, Ginanneschi_2013, etc). Experimental studies performed on fibroblasts from an individual homozygous for the variant showed a negligible or a very low residual activity compared to controls (Garuti_1996). Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 17, 2024This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 216 of the CYP27A1 protein (p.Ala216Pro). This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 3, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (rs201346271, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (PMID: 8827518, 10775536, 14999499, 24746394). This variant is also known as p.Ala183Pro. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 65885). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Studies have shown that this missense change alters CYP27A1 gene expression (PMID: 8827518). 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 disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

CYP27A1-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesNov 15, 2023The CYP27A1 c.646G>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala216Pro. This variant is also referred to as p.Ala183Pro in literature. This variant has been reported in the homozygous state and along with another variant in CYP27A1 in multiple individuals with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (Garuti et al. 1996. PubMed ID: 8827518, Gupta et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17697869; Verrips et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 10775536). Splicing analysis found this variant results in aberrant splicing and reduced mRNA levels (Garuti et al. 1996. PubMed ID: 8827518; Gupta et al. 2007. PubMed ID: 17697869). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
