dc.description.abstractContext: Steroidogenic factor 1 (NR5A1/SF-1) is a nuclear receptor that regulates sex development, steroidogenesis, and reproduction. Genetic variants in NR5A1/SF-1 are common among differences of sex development (DSD) and associate with a wide range of phenotypes, but their pathogenic mechanisms remain unclear. Objective: Novel, likely disease-causing NR5A1/SF-1 variants from the SF1next cohort of individuals with DSD were characterized to elucidate their pathogenic effect. Methods: Different in silico tools were used to predict the impact of novel NR5A1/SF-1 variants on protein function. An extensive literature review was conducted to compare and select the best functional studies for testing the pathogenic effect of the variants in a classic cell culture model. The missense NR5A1/SF-1 variants were tested on the promoter luciferase reporter vector -152CYP11A1-pGL3 in HEK293T cells and assessed for their cytoplasmic/nuclear localization by Western blot. Results: Thirty-five novel NR5A1/SF-1 variants were identified in the SF1next cohort. Seventeen missense NR5A1/SF-1 variants were functionally tested. Transactivation assays showed reduced activity for 40% of the variants located in the DNA binding domain and variable activity for variants located elsewhere. Translocation assessment revealed 3 variants (3/17) with affected nuclear translocation. No clear genotype-phenotype, structure-function correlation was found. Conclusion: Genetic analyses and functional assays do not explain the observed wide phenotype of individuals with these novel NR5A1/SF-1 variants. In 9 individuals, additional likely disease-causing variants in other genes were found, strengthening the hypothesis that the broad phenotype of DSD associated with NR5A1/SF-1 variants may be caused by an oligogenic mechanism. © 2024 The Author(s).
