Genes affected

STAR (HGNC:11359): (steroidogenic acute regulatory protein) The protein encoded by this gene plays a key role in the acute regulation of steroid hormone synthesis by enhancing the conversion of cholesterol into pregnenolone. This protein permits the cleavage of cholesterol into pregnenolone by mediating the transport of cholesterol from the outer mitochondrial membrane to the inner mitochondrial membrane. Mutations in this gene are a cause of congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (CLAH), also called lipoid CAH. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 13. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

STAR (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.19 CDS is truncated, and there are 1 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 8-38145270-TC-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr8-38145270-TC-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 558205.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the STAR protein in which other variant(s) (p.Gln258*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8948562, 9097960, 22028173, 28467518). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 558205). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (PMID: 26827627). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is present in population databases (rs757367795, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly232Glufs*89) in the STAR gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 54 amino acid(s) of the STAR protein. -
