Apolipoprotein C-II deficiency (Hyperlipoproteinemia, type Ib)ARCardiovascular; GastrointestinalDepending on the severity of disease, individuals may present with manifestations ranging from neonatal encephalopathy to episodic acute pancreatitis, and dietary measures (eg, with low-fat diet, and medium-chain triglyceride supplementation in infancy) can be beneficial to help control lipid abnormalities, including decreasing the risk of episodes of acute pancreatitis; Treatment of acute pancreatitis involves fasting with low-calorie infusion, but serum triglycerides can also be rapidly decreased in emergent situations through normal plasma transfusion; Medical treatment (eg, with fibrates) may be beneficial in adultsCardiovascular; Gastrointestinal; Neurologic565877; 213719; 227429; 6101731; 6475985; 3944267; 3467353; 3171393; 3225819; 1479292; 2477392; 2501098; 7815420; 10225669; 12049186; 12783430; 16153625; 22129523

Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the APOC2 gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000000483.5. Only rare variants are included in the table.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Component of chylomicrons, very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), low-density lipoproteins (LDL), and high-density lipoproteins (HDL) in plasma. Plays an important role in lipoprotein metabolism as an activator of lipoprotein lipase. Both proapolipoprotein C-II and apolipoprotein C-II can activate lipoprotein lipase. In normolipidemic individuals, it is mainly distributed in the HDL, whereas in hypertriglyceridemic individuals, predominantly found in the VLDL and LDL. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2209608, ECO:0000303|PubMed:22304839}.;
