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]

Cholestanol storage disease Pathogenic:4
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 24, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln159*) in the CYP27A1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in CYP27A1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9392430, 10775536, 26937392). This variant is present in population databases (rs72551314, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (PMID: 8931710). This variant is also known as Gln126*. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 65873). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxNov 28, 2018The Q159X variant has been reported previously in an individual with progressive spastic tetraparesis with no xanthomas, but with biochemical testing results indicative of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis, who harbored another variant in the CYP27A1 gene; parental testing was not performed to confirm the variants were in trans (Verrips et al., 2000). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The Q159X variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). We interpret Q159X as a likely pathogenic variant. -
