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.

The APOB c.8882A>G (p.Asn2961Ser) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 35913489 (2022), 31153816 (2019)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00026 (13/50712 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

The p.N2961S variant (also known as c.8882A>G), located in coding exon 26 of the APOB gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 8882. The asparagine at codon 2961 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been noted in hypercholesterolemia cohorts and has been reported in combination with other cardiac-related genes (Beaudoin M et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2012 Oct;5:547-54; Sánchez-Hernández RM et al. J Clin Lipidol, 2019 May;13:618-626; Sustar U et al. Genet Med, 2022 Oct;24:2103-2111). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species, and serine is the reference amino acid in other vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
