Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PVS1_Strong PM2

The NM_000483.5(APOC2):​c.178G>T​(p.Glu60*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,616 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. E60E) has been classified as Benign.

Genes affected

APOC2 (HGNC:609): (apolipoprotein C2) This gene encodes a lipid-binding protein belonging to the apolipoprotein gene family. The protein is secreted in plasma where it is a component of very low density lipoprotein. This protein activates the enzyme lipoprotein lipase, which hydrolyzes triglycerides and thus provides free fatty acids for cells. Mutations in this gene cause hyperlipoproteinemia type IB, characterized by hypertriglyceridemia, xanthomas, and increased risk of pancreatitis and early atherosclerosis. This gene is present in a cluster with other related apolipoprotein genes on chromosome 19. Naturally occurring read-through transcription exists between this gene and the neighboring upstream apolipoprotein C-IV (APOC4) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

APOC4-APOC2 (HGNC:44426): (APOC4-APOC2 readthrough (NMD candidate)) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring apolipoprotein C-IV (APOC4) and apolipoprotein C-II (APOC2) genes on chromosome 19. The read-through transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is thus unlikely to produce a protein product. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most 50 bp of the penultimate exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.418 CDS is truncated, and there are 2 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
