Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_174936.4(PCSK9):​c.42_43insTG​(p.Leu15fs) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L15L) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

PCSK9 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 55 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 1-55039879-A-ATG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-55039879-A-ATG is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 431555.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
