Genes affected
HSD17B4 (HGNC:5213): (hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 4) The protein encoded by this gene is a bifunctional enzyme that is involved in the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway for fatty acids. It also acts as a catalyst for the formation of 3-ketoacyl-CoA intermediates from both straight-chain and 2-methyl-branched-chain fatty acids. Defects in this gene that affect the peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation activity are a cause of D-bifunctional protein deficiency (DBPD). An apparent pseudogene of this gene is present on chromosome 8. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

This variant was found in 2/120420 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000166, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic HSD17B4 variant (0.002958). The variant has been reported in affected individuals in the literature both in the homozygous and compound heterozygous state. Additionally, functional studies have shown the variant to abolish hydratase activity (Tsuchida_2015). Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsFeb 19, 2021The c.1516C>T (p.R506C) alteration is located in exon 18 (coding exon 18) of the HSD17B4 gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1516, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 506 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) database, the HSD17B4 c.1516C>T alteration was observed in <0.01% (4/282248) of total alleles studied. This mutation has been identified in three homozygous and one compound heterozygous individual with D-bifunctional protein deficiency (Ferdinandusse, 2006; Konkoov&aacute;, 2015). Functional studies in E. coli demonstrated that this variant abolished hydratase activity (Tsuchida, 2012; Tsuchida, 2015). The p.R506C alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
Bifunctional peroxisomal enzyme deficiency;C0685838:Perrault syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeNov 13, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 506 of the HSD17B4 protein (p.Arg506Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs766199971, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with HSD17B4-related conditions (PMID: 16385454, 25967389). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 495866). 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on HSD17B4 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects HSD17B4 function (PMID: 22864515). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
