Invitae | RCV001004377 | SCV003011042 | uncertain significance | Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome | 2022-06-10 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change affects codon 107 of the DHCR7 mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the DHCR7 protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and likely results in the gain of 12 amino acid residue(s), but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs104886040, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (PMID: 15896653). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 813426). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in the activation of a cryptic splice site in intron 4 (PMID: 10995508). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. |
