Genes affected
DHCR7 (HGNC:2860): (7-dehydrocholesterol reductase) This gene encodes an enzyme that removes the C(7-8) double bond in the B ring of sterols and catalyzes the conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol to cholesterol. This gene is ubiquitously expressed and its transmembrane protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and nuclear outer membrane. Mutations in this gene cause Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS); a syndrome that is metabolically characterized by reduced serum cholesterol levels and elevated serum 7-dehydrocholesterol levels and phenotypically characterized by cognitive disability, facial dysmorphism, syndactyly of second and third toes, and holoprosencephaly in severe cases to minimal physical abnormalities and near-normal intelligence in mild cases. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2009]

The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.001%). Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.98; 3Cnet: 1.00). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000587952). The variant has been reported to be in trans with pathogenic variant(s) as either compound heterozygous or homozygous in at least 2 similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 15521979, 22211794, 23293579). Therefore, this variant is classified as pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Variant summary: DHCR7 c.1190C>T (p.Ser397Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the fourth cytoplasmic loop domain of 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 1.2e-05 in 241462 control chromosomes. c.1190C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome and subsequently cited by others (example, Witsch-Baumgartner_2000, Ciara_2004, Kalb_2012, Balogh_2012, Donoghue_2018). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 397 of the DHCR7 protein (p.Ser397Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs773134475, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (PMID: 10677299, 15521979, 22211794, 23293579). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 587952). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt DHCR7 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.S397L variant (also known as c.1190C>T), located in coding exon 7 of the DHCR7 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1190. The serine at codon 397 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant was identified in multiple patients with Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome, who also carried pathogenic mutations in DHCR7 (Witsch-Baumgartner M et al, Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2000 Feb; 66(2):402-12; Ciara E et al, Clin. Genet. 2004 Dec; 66(6):517-24; Balogh I et al, Mol Syndromol 2012 Nov; 3(5):215-22; Kalb S et al, Clin. Genet. 2012 Jun; 81(6):598-601). This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6487 samples (12974 alleles) with coverage at this position. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
