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]

Submissions by phenotype

Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 29, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 443 of the DHCR7 protein (p.Arg443Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs781687341, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with DHCR7-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1066741). 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt DHCR7 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg443 amino acid residue in DHCR7. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 10, 2022Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
DHCR7-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJan 19, 2024The DHCR7 c.1328G>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg443Leu. This variant has been reported in at least one individual with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Kim et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34308104. Table S2). Additionally, different missense substitutions at this same codon (p.Arg443Cys, p.Arg443His, p.Arg443Pro) have been reported in individuals with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (Witsch-Baumgartner et al. 2000. PubMed ID: 10677299; ClinVar ID: 1071907, 397519, 557359) suggesting that substitution of amino acid residue p.Arg443 is not tolerated. This variant is reported in 0.00089% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
