Genes affected
PCSK9 (HGNC:20001): (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) This gene encodes a member of the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family, which includes proteases that process protein and peptide precursors trafficking through regulated or constitutive branches of the secretory pathway. The encoded protein undergoes an autocatalytic processing event with its prosegment in the ER and is constitutively secreted as an inactive protease into the extracellular matrix and trans-Golgi network. It is expressed in liver, intestine and kidney tissues and escorts specific receptors for lysosomal degradation. It plays a role in cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]

The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0007 in 161082 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 35-folds over the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PCSK9 causing Early Onset Coronary Artery Disease phenotype (2e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. Five ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant three times as likely benign and twice as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
