Description
This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 225 of the HSD17B3 protein (p.Val225Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs768355659, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal recessive 17-beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 deficiency and/or clinical features of HDS17B3-related conditions (PMID: 25740850, 28617986, 32372306, 34009138). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Studies have shown that this missense change is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (PMID: 32372306). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.
