Genes affected
LCAT (HGNC:6522): (lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase) This gene encodes the extracellular cholesterol esterifying enzyme, lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase. The esterification of cholesterol is required for cholesterol transport. Mutations in this gene have been found to cause fish-eye disease as well as LCAT deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr107*) in the LCAT gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LCAT are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 15994445). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908055, gnomAD 0.005%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency (PMID: 8432868, 30201532). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3671). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
