Abstract

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to steroid 21-hydroxylase (CYP21A2) deficiency is the commonest inborn error in steroid hormone biosynthesis. Functional in vitro assessment of mutant activity generally correlates well with clinical phenotype and therefore has contributed greatly to phenotype prediction in this CAH variant. Three CYP21A2 sequence variants (g.1641C>T, p.A265V; g.1752G>C, p.W302S; and g.2012A>G, p.D322G) identified in patients with non-classic and simple virilizing CAH were characterized using a yeast co-expression system and a computational three-dimensional CYP21A2 model. Computational analysis of the mutants in the three-dimensional structural model predicted no relevant effect of p.A265V, while p.W302S and p.D322G were predicted to impact significantly on enzyme function. Consistent with these findings, in vitro mutant analysis revealed enzyme activity similar to wild-type for p.A265V, whereas p.W302S and p.D322G exerted activities compatible with simple virilizing and non-classical CAH, respectively. The results indicate that p.A265V is an allelic variant rather than a disease-causing amino acid change, whilst p.W302S and p.D322G could be confirmed as functionally relevant mutations. These findings emphasize the value of in vitro functional analysis of sequence variations in predicting genotype-phenotype correlations and disease severity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
