Submissions by phenotype
Hypercholesterolemia, autosomal dominant, 3 Uncertain:3
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Invitae | Jan 25, 2024 | This variant, c.54_65dup, results in the insertion of 4 amino acid(s) of the PCSK9 protein (p.Leu20_Leu23dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs371488778, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PCSK9-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 662731). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. - |

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | New York Genome Center | Sep 12, 2022 | The c.54_65dup variant located in exon 1 of this 12-exon gene is predicted to add four Leucine amino acids [p.(Leu20_Leu23dup)] to a stretch of nine consecutive Leucine amino acids without causing a shift in the reading frame (in-frame duplication). This variant has not been previously reported in the literature and is observedin 36 alleles (0.0071% minor allele frequency with 0 homozygotes) in population databases (gnomAD v2.1.1 and v3.1.2, TOPMed Freeze 8) suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in those databases. This variant has been deposited in ClinVar [ClinVar ID: 662731] as a Variant of Uncertain Significance (3 entries). In silico predictions are not available for this variant. Based on available evidence, this c.54_65dup p.(Leu20_Leu23dup) variant identified in PCSK9 is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. - |

Familial hypercholesterolemia Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health | Feb 22, 2023 | This variant results in an insertion of four leucine residues in a leucine-rich stretch of the PCSK9 protein. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with PCSK9-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 14/192344 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. - |
