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	Genomic Research Center, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences	Mar 05, 2018	- -
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Lifecell International Pvt. Ltd	-	This variant in exon 4 of the CYP21A2 gene results in the amino acid substitution from Isoleucine to Asparagine at codon 173 (p.Ile173Asn) with the sequence change of c.518T>A (NM_000500.7). This variant was observed in a proband with increased level of 17-OHP enzyme (86.9 nmol/L) which was screened for advanced newborn screening with confirmatory genetic reflex testing at lifecell diagnostics. The observed variant has a minor allele frequency of 0.000798722 and 0.0005771 in the 1000G database and gnomAD database respectively. The nucleotide is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP and the in-silico predictions by MutationTaster and SIFT are damaging. This variant lies in the p450 domain of CP21A_HUMAN protein (http://pfam.xfam.org/protein/P08686). This variant (also referred as Ile172Asn) has been previously reported for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (Amor et al., 1988;PMID: 3257825, Speiser et al., 1992;PMID: 1644925, New et al., 2013;PMID: 23359698). Experimental studies have shown that this variant results in abnormal protein function (Tusie-Luna et al., 1990;PMID: 2249999, Chiou et al., 1990;PMID: 2303461, Brønstad et al., 2014;PMID: 24671123). -

Dec 20, 2019	NM_000500.7(CYP21A2):c.518T>A(I173N) is classified as pathogenic in the context of congenital adrenal hyperplasia and is associated with the classic form of the disease. Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 24667412, 21098686, 24671123, 23359698, 22270556, 19750867 and 3257825. Classification of NM_000500.7(CYP21A2):c.518T>A(I173N) is based on the following criteria: This is a well-established pathogenic variant in the literature that has been observed more frequently in patients with clinical diagnoses than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Victorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research Institute	Oct 15, 2020	Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.2, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with congenital adrenal hyperplasia, due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. (I) 0106 - This gene is associated with autosomal recessive disease. (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from isoleucine to asparagine. (I) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0304 - Variant is present in gnomAD (v3) <0.01 for a recessive condition (166 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes).

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	3billion	Jan 03, 2022	Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000012150, PMID:3257825, PS1_S). Functional studies provide strong evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 24671123, PS3_S). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.766, PP3_P). A missense variant is a common mechanism associated with Hyperandrogenism (PP2_P). It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.000577, PM2_M). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Oct 31, 2022	This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 173 of the CYP21A2 protein (p.Ile173Asn). 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 classic salt-wasting, simple virilizing, and non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (PMID: 3257825, 8698338, 23359698, 26804566, 30968594). 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 I172N. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12150). 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 expected to disrupt CYP21A2 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CYP21A2 function (PMID: 2249999, 30968594). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Aug 22, 2023	The CYP21A2 c.518T>A (p.Ile173Asn) variant (also known as I173N or I172N) has been reported in the published literature in individuals affected with the classic salt-wasting, simple virilizing, and non-classic forms of CAH (PMIDs: 3257825 (1988), 17042033 (2006), 21098686 (2011), 23359698 (2013), 31586465 (2020)). In addition, experimental studies indicate this variant is damaging to protein function (PMIDs: 2249999 (1990), 24667412 (2014), 24671123 (2014)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0016 (41/25010 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is consistent with pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Athena Diagnostics	Aug 22, 2023	Frequency data for this variant in the general population cannot be distinguished from that of the CYP21P pseudogene, and are therefore uninformative in assessment of variant pathogenicity. This variant is also referred to as p.Ile172Asn in published literature. In multiple individuals, this variant has been seen in trans with other recessive pathogenic variants in CYP21A2, suggesting this variant is also pathogenic. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. Experiments demonstrate this variant results in dramatically reduced enzymatic activity (PMID: 2249999, 24667412, 24671123). -

Variant summary: CYP21A2 c.518T>A (p.Ile173Asn, aka. I172N) 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 0.00048 in 249434 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.518T>A has been reported in the literature in numerous homozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with the classic salt-wasting, simple virilizing, and non-classic forms of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (see e.g. Amor_1988, Dolzan_2005, Simonetti_2018, Xu_2019). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Publications also reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated severely reduced enzyme activity (e.g. Tusie-Luna_1990, Chiou_1990, Xu_2019). 13 clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after, and all laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
