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:2Uncertain:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpAug 29, 2023This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 146 of the DHCR7 protein (p.Asn146Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs949177, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (PMID: 20556518, 22226660). 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: 632172). 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. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaAug 30, 2018The DHCR7 c.438T>G (p.Asn146Lys) missense variant has been reported in two studies in which it is found in a compound heterozygous state with other well-known pathogenic null variants in two individuals with Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome (SLOS) (Jezela-Stanek et al. 2010; Quélin et al. 2011). The p.Asn146Lys variant was absent from 200 control chromosomes and is reported at a frequency of 0.000018 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Genome Aggregation Database, but this is based on two alleles only in a region of good coverage so is presumed to be rare. Based on the limited evidence, the p.Asn146Lys variant is considered to be of unknown significance but suspicious of pathogenicity for Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. -
