Functional characterization of fiveNR5A1gene mutations found in patients with 46,XY disorders of sex development

Abstract: Steroidogenic factor-1 (SF1), encoded by the NR5A1 gene, is a key regulator of steroidogenesis and reproductive development. NR5A1 mutations described in 46,XY patients with disorders of sex development (DSD) can be associated with a range of conditions of phenotypes; however, the genotype-phenotype correlation remains elusive in many cases. In the present study, we describe the impact of five NR5A1 variants (three novel: p.Arg39Cys, p.Ser32Asn, and p.Lys396Argfs*34; and two previously described: p.Cys65Tyr an… Show more

“…8 When Ser32 mutates to asparagine, the SF-1 mutant decreases both its binding and transactivational function to target genes. 28 Our study shows that S32N also decreases the transactivation activity of SF-1 to 39%. Asn44 is located between the first and F I G U R E 2 SF-1 protein structure and the location of the heterozygous variants.…”

“…Sequencing of the NR5A1 coding region (exon 2-7) revealed a total of 3 pathogenic variants of which 2 were novel: c.64G>A (p.Gly22Ser) and c.428G>A (p.Se-r143Asn).One pathogenic variant, c.95G>A (p.Se-r32Asn), was recently reported in patients with 46,XY DSD [Fabbri-Scallet et al, 2018;Yu et al, 2018]. The 2 pathogenic variants p.Ser32Asn and p.Gly22Ser (encoded by exon 2) identified in family 1 and family 2, respectively, were located in the first zinc finger (DNA recognition helix in the C-terminus) of the DBD.…”

“…The precise mechanism of SF-1 action that fails in DSDs is not fully understood, nor has an explanation for the wide-ranging phenotypes associated with SF-1 mutations been determined. Attempts to explain this phenotypic variability have focused on analyzing defective SF-1 function at target promoters of either steroidogenic genes, such as CYP11A1, CYP17A1, and CYP19A1, or sex differentiation genes such as AMH and INSL3 (see Supporting Information for full gene names; Allali et al, 2011;Camats et al, 2012;Fabbri-Scallet et al, 2018;Ito, Achermann, & Jameson, 2000;Kohler et al, 2008;Lin et al, 2007;Philibert et al, 2007;WuQiang et al, 2003). However, no correlation between SF-1 function and patient phenotype has been identified.…”
