Invitae RCV000007185 SCV000630074 pathogenic Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome 2024-01-04 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 93 of the DHCR7 protein (p.Thr93Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs80338853, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome (PMID: 9653161, 10602371, 10677299, 10995508, 14981719, 15776424). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It is commonly reported in individuals of Mediterranean ancestry (PMID: 9653161, 10602371, 10677299, 10995508, 14981719, 15776424). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 6783). 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%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000007185 SCV000697855 pathogenic Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome 2017-03-30 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: The DHCR7 c.278C>T (p.Thr93Met) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide and 4/4 in silico tools (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index) predict a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 3/109422 control chromosomes from ExAC at a frequency of 0.0000274, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic DHCR7 variant (0.0043301). Published studies have reported this variant in patients with SLOS in homozygous as well as in compound heterozygous state with other likely pathogenic/pathogenic variants. It is a known common pathogenic variant with possible founder effect in Mediterranean region. This variant is located in one of the transmembrane domains and expression of this mutant in mammalian cells showed decreased expression, lower than 5% (Witsch-Baumgartner_2000). Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases have classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

Sources cited for classification include the following: PMID 9653161, 10677299, 15670717 and 14981719. Classification of NM_001360.2(DHCR7):c.278C>T(T93M) is based on the following criteria: This is a well-established pathogenic variant in the literature that has been observed more frequently in patients with clinical diagnoses than in healthy populations. Please note: this variant was assessed in the context of healthy population screening.‚Äã

ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories RCV000007185 SCV002048039 pathogenic Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome 2021-09-17 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The DHCR7 c.278C>T; p.Thr93Met (rs80338853) variant has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals with Smith-Lemli-Optiz (SLO) syndrome (Fitzky 1998, Nowaczyk 2004, Witsch-Baumgartner 2000) and has been reported as a founder variant in Mediterranean populations (Nowaczyk 2004, Witsch-Baumgartner 2005). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 6783) and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.005% (14/281358 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The threonine at codon 93 is highly conserved, and computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.785). Based on available information, this variant is considered pathogenic. References: Fitzky BU et al.

Lifecell International Pvt. Ltd RCV000007185 SCV003934932 pathogenic Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing A Homozygote Missense variant c.278C>T in Exon 4 of the DHCR7 gene that results in the amino acid substitution p.Thr93Met was identified. The observed variant has a minimum allele frequency of 0.00004/0.00013% in gnomAD exomes and genomes, respectively. The severity of the impact of this variant on the protein is medium, based on the effect of the protein and REVEL score. Rare Exome Variant Ensemble Learner (REVEL) is an ensembl method for predicting the pathogenicity of missense variants based on a combination of scores from 13 individual tools: MutPred, FATHMM v2.3, VEST 3.0, PolyPhen-2, SIFT, PROVEAN, MutationAssessor, LRT, GERP++, SiPhy, phyloP, and phastCons. The REVEL score for an individual missense variant can range from 0 to 1, with higher scores reflecting greater likelihood that the variant is disease-causing. The variant has been reported to ClinVar as Pathogenic with a status of (2 stars) criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (Variation ID 6783 as of 2022-12-11). The variant has been previously recorded to cause Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 93 of the DHCR7 protein (p.Thr93Met) (Witsch-Baumgartner, M et al., 2000; Fitzky, B U et al., 1998). Based on the above evidence this variant has been classified as Pathogenic according to the ACMG guidelines.
