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]

Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome

Pathogenic:1Uncertain:1

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 09, 2024	This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 448 of the DHCR7 protein (p.Glu448Gln). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (PMID: 10677299). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 554965). 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.Glu448 amino acid residue in DHCR7. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10602371, 10995508, 12270273, 12949967). 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. -

Reported in a patient with SLOS in published literature (Witsch-Baumgartner et al., 2000); it is unclear whether a second variant was identified; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 11001806, 12914579, 10677299, 11175299, 16207203, 15670717, 11111101, 23042628, 11241839, 11767235) -

Variant summary: DHCR7 c.1342G>C (p.Glu448Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four 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 248898 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1342G>C has been reported in the literature as a non-informative genotype (second allele not specified) in at-least one individual affected with Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (example, Witsch-Baumgartner_2000) and continues to be cited by others. These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. Additionally, one variant at the Glu448 residue has been reported as associated with disease (c.1342G>A p.Glu448Lys), suggesting that this codon might be functionally important. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 10677299). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 554965). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
