RCV003808888 | SCV004595869 | pathogenic | Bifunctional peroxisomal enzyme deficiency; Perrault syndrome | 2023-04-12 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the HSD17B4 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Asn98Ser) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 27790638). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with HSD17B4-related conditions. This variant results in the deletion of part of exon 5 (c.283_302+2delins16) of the HSD17B4 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in HSD17B4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11810648, 16385454, 20673864). |
