Genes affected
APOB (HGNC:603): (apolipoprotein B) This gene product is the main apolipoprotein of chylomicrons and low density lipoproteins (LDL), and is the ligand for the LDL receptor. It occurs in plasma as two main isoforms, apoB-48 and apoB-100: the former is synthesized exclusively in the gut and the latter in the liver. The intestinal and the hepatic forms of apoB are encoded by a single gene from a single, very long mRNA. The two isoforms share a common N-terminal sequence. The shorter apoB-48 protein is produced after RNA editing of the apoB-100 transcript at residue 2180 (CAA->UAA), resulting in the creation of a stop codon, and early translation termination. Mutations in this gene or its regulatory region cause hypobetalipoproteinemia, normotriglyceridemic hypobetalipoproteinemia, and hypercholesterolemia due to ligand-defective apoB, diseases affecting plasma cholesterol and apoB levels.

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 08, 2019The p.R4177* variant (also known as c.12529C>T), located in coding exon 29 of the APOB gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 12529. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 29. Premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature, however, this stop codon occurs at the 3' terminus of APOB and is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This alteration impacts the last 387 amino acids in the protein C-terminus, which has been indicated to play a role in both lipoprotein assembly and LDLR binding (McCormick SP et al. J. Biol. Chem., 1997 Sep;272:23616-22; Boren J et al. J. Clin. Invest., 1998 Mar;101:1084-93; Borén J et al. J. Biol. Chem., 2001 Mar;276:9214-8). Nevertheless, the exact functional impact of these altered amino acids is unknown at this time. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
