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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJul 17, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln77*) in the STAR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in STAR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 8948562). This variant is present in population databases (rs781281145, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (PMID: 15347444, 30400872). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 553713). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
