Genes affected

LCAT (HGNC:6522): (lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase) This gene encodes the extracellular cholesterol esterifying enzyme, lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase. The esterification of cholesterol is required for cholesterol transport. Mutations in this gene have been found to cause fish-eye disease as well as LCAT deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LCAT Gene-Disease associations (from GenCC):

• fish eye disease

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE, STRONG, SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: G2P, Orphanet, Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae)
• LCAT deficiency

  Inheritance: AR Classification: DEFINITIVE Submitted by: Ambry Genetics
• Norum disease

  Inheritance: AR Classification: SUPPORTIVE Submitted by: Orphanet

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
