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 c.2611G>A (p.A871T) alteration is located in exon 18 (coding exon 18) of the APOB gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2611, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 871 to be replaced by a threonine (T). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

The APOB p.Ala871Thr variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in Cosmic. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs144622446), ClinVar (classified as a VUS by Color; associated condition is Familial hypercholesterolemia). The variant was also found in control databases in 32 of 282392 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000113 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017) and was observed in the following populations: European (non-Finnish) in 27 of 128764 chromosomes (freq: 0.00021), African in 4 of 24948 chromosomes (freq: 0.00016) and Other in 1 of 7216 chromosomes (freq: 0.000139), while the variant was not observed in the Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European (Finnish) and South Asian populations. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. The p.Ala871 residue is not conserved in mammals or other organisms, and none of the computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
