Description
This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 173 of the CYP21A2 protein (p.Ile173Asn). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases (gnomAD) is considered unreliable due to the presence of homologous sequence, such as pseudogenes or paralogs, in the genome. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with classic salt-wasting, simple virilizing, and non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (PMID: 3257825, 8698338, 23359698, 26804566, 30968594). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is also known as I172N. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12150). 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 CYP21A2 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects CYP21A2 function (PMID: 2249999, 30968594). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
