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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Athena Diagnostics	Oct 30, 2024	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. In multiple individuals, this variant has been seen in trans with other recessive pathogenic variants in CYP21A2, suggesting this variant is also pathogenic. This variant is reported to associate with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). This variant is also referred to as p.Pro453Ser (P453S) in published literature. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. (PMID: 24953648) -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Nov 01, 2022	This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 454 of the CYP21A2 protein (p.Pro454Ser). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases (gnomAD) is considered unreliable due to the presence of homologous sequence, such as pseudogenes or paralogs, in the genome. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (PMID: 1406699, 10720040, 12222711, 12887291, 21444649, 21843885, 22270556, 23073904, 31333583, 32966723). 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 P453S. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12159). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt CYP21A2 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CYP21A2 function (PMID: 18381579, 24953648, 30968594). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.1360C>T (p.Pro454Ser) missense variant in the CYP21A2 gene, also known as p.Pro453Ser in literatures, has been previously found in 46.2% of 13 unrelated NC-CAH patients, but only 7.7% and 3.6% of salt-wasting CAH patients and blood donors, respectively (PMID: 1406699).

Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.45; 3Cnet: 0.88). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000012159).

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Knight Diagnostic Laboratories, Oregon Health and Sciences University	Jul 18, 2016	The c.1360C>T (p.Pro454Ser) missense variant in the CYP21A2 gene has been previously reported in multiple individuals affected with 21-OHD CAH and is associated with the non-classic form of this disorder (Owerbach et al., 1992; Vigliani and Buster, 2012; Skordis et al., 2015; Neocleous et al., 2014). This variant is present significantly more frequently in affected individuals than controls (OR = 18; 95%CI = 2.37-136), and is absent or reported at low frequency in the population databases (Exome Sequencing Project [ESP]; 1000 Genomes=0.6%; ExAC=0.88%). Furthermore, in vitro functional assays in multiple studies demonstrated that, compared to the wild-type enzyme, this variant had decreased activity on both the 17-OHP and progesterone substrates (Nikoshkov et al., 1997, Barbaro et al., 2015). Structural studies predict that Pro454 is positioned within a hydrophobic pocket, and that the p.Pro454Ser variant will disrupt the hydrophobicity of this region (Haider et al., 2013). In addition, Emory Genetics Laboratory has classified this variant as Pathogenic. Pathogenic variants in the CYP21A2 gene are the only known cause of 21-OHD CAH. Therefore, this collective evidence supports the classification of the c.1360C>T (p.Pro454Ser) as a Pathogenic variant for congenital adrenal hyperplasia. We have confirmed this finding in our laboratory using Sanger sequencing. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jun 29, 2022	Variant summary: CYP21A2 c.1360C>T (p.Pro454Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0046 in 137706 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in CYP21A2 causing Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia/Non-Classic (0.0046 vs 0.032), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1360C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in 10%-<30% of normal activity (Helmberg_1992, Nikoshkov_1997, Soardi_2008). Ten 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. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The CYP21A2 c.1360C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro454Ser. This variant is associated with autosomal recessive non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) (also known as P453S; New et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16912124; Nikoshkov et al. 1997. PubMed ID: 8989258; Soardi et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18381579). This is a common deleterious variant, which likely originated from the pseudogene CYP21A1P via gene conversion. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
