Genes affected

PCSK9 (HGNC:20001): (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) This gene encodes a member of the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family, which includes proteases that process protein and peptide precursors trafficking through regulated or constitutive branches of the secretory pathway. The encoded protein undergoes an autocatalytic processing event with its prosegment in the ER and is constitutively secreted as an inactive protease into the extracellular matrix and trans-Golgi network. It is expressed in liver, intestine and kidney tissues and escorts specific receptors for lysosomal degradation. It plays a role in cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]

Variant summary: The c.57_65dupGCTGCTGCT (p.Leu19_Leu21dup) in PCSK9 gene leads to an in-frame insertion of three leucines to the stretch of 9 leucines in exon 1 of PCSK9. This variant was found in 36/185508 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001941, which is approximately 2 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic PCSK9 variant (0.0000938), suggesting this variant is likely a benign polymorphism. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals, nor has it been cited by any reputable databases/clinical laboratories. Addition of one or two leucines to poly Leu stretch are believed to be associated with lower LDL-cholesterol levels in general populations (Abifadel_2009; Slimani_2012). Additional population and clinical data needed to classify the variant with confidence. Taken together, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
