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.

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a APOB-related disease. In summary, this is a novel missense change that is not predicted to affect protein function or cause disease. However, the evidence is insufficient at this time to prove that conclusively. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. The threonine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, suggesting that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. In addition, algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies. This sequence change replaces methionine with threonine at codon 1206 of the APOB protein (p.Met1206Thr). The methionine residue is weakly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between methionine and threonine. -
