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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.13345864 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3, offset of 6, new splice context is: atcttcctttataaacccAGttt. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 2-218814544-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr2-218814544-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 65844.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 7 of the CYP27A1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in CYP27A1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9392430, 10775536, 26937392). This variant is present in population databases (rs587778785, gnomAD 0.003%). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (PMID: 9392430). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as In 7 G-1>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 65844). Studies have shown that this variant is associated with altered splicing, resulting in an in-frame deletion in exon 8 or inclusion of intron 7 (PMID: 9392430). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
