Genes affected
POR (HGNC:9208): (cytochrome p450 oxidoreductase) This gene encodes an endoplasmic reticulum membrane oxidoreductase that is essential for multiple metabolic processes, including reactions catalyzed by cytochrome P450 proteins for metabolism of steroid hormones, drugs and xenobiotics. The encoded protein has a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-binding domain and a flavodoxin-like domain which bind two cofactors, FAD and FMN, that allow it to donate electrons directly from NADPH to all microsomal P450 enzymes. Mutations in this gene cause a complex set of disorders, including apparent combined P450C17 and P450C21 deficiency, amenorrhea and disordered steroidogenesis, congenital adrenal hyperplasia and Antley-Bixler syndrome, that resemble those caused by defects in steroid metabolizing enzymes such as aromatase, 21-hydroxylase, and 17 alpha-hydroxylase.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase deficiency Uncertain:2
Apr 27, 2017
Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 462 of the POR protein (p.Ala462Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs72557936, gnomAD 0.05%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POR-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 908686). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on POR function (PMID: 18230729, 18551037). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: POR c.1375G>A (p.Ala459Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Two of three in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.4e-05 in 229000 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in POR causing Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (4.4e-05 vs 0.00091), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1375G>A in individuals affected with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia has been reported. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and this variant affected the protein function (Huang_2008). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 18551037, 18230729). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 908686). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
