Genes affected
APOE (HGNC:613): (apolipoprotein E) The protein encoded by this gene is a major apoprotein of the chylomicron. It binds to a specific liver and peripheral cell receptor, and is essential for the normal catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein constituents. This gene maps to chromosome 19 in a cluster with the related apolipoprotein C1 and C2 genes. Mutations in this gene result in familial dysbetalipoproteinemia, or type III hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP III), in which increased plasma cholesterol and triglycerides are the consequence of impaired clearance of chylomicron and VLDL remnants.

Familial type 3 hyperlipoproteinemia Pathogenic:2

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.460C>A (p.Arg154Ser) missense variant identified in the APOE gene also known as APOE-E2 Christchurch has been reported in multiple hyperlipidemic patients presenting familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL), familial dysbetalipoproteinemia FD or primary hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) and inherited on the autosomal dominant mode with reduced penetrance [PMID:22481068, 3038959, 8724110, 9125318, 27108409, 34058468]. The variant is situated in the receptor-binding domain and receptor-binding studies have shown that this variant had only 41% of the apoE3 receptor binding capacity and lipoprotein turnover studies showed a significantly reduced catabolic rate of VLDL particles from patients carrying the p.Arg154Ser variant [PMID: 2831187, 3038959]. The variant is observed in 13 alleles (0.0000354 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. The variant affects an evolutionarily conserved residue and in silico predictions are in favor of the deleterious effect of the variant on the encoded protein (CADD v1.6 = 25.6, REVEL = 0.670). Based on the available evidence, the c.460C>A (p.Arg154Ser) missense variant identified in the APOE gene is reported as likely pathogenic. -
