Genes affected

APOC2 (HGNC:609): (apolipoprotein C2) This gene encodes a lipid-binding protein belonging to the apolipoprotein gene family. The protein is secreted in plasma where it is a component of very low density lipoprotein. This protein activates the enzyme lipoprotein lipase, which hydrolyzes triglycerides and thus provides free fatty acids for cells. Mutations in this gene cause hyperlipoproteinemia type IB, characterized by hypertriglyceridemia, xanthomas, and increased risk of pancreatitis and early atherosclerosis. This gene is present in a cluster with other related apolipoprotein genes on chromosome 19. Naturally occurring read-through transcription exists between this gene and the neighboring upstream apolipoprotein C-IV (APOC4) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

APOC4-APOC2 (HGNC:44426): (APOC4-APOC2 readthrough (NMD candidate)) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring apolipoprotein C-IV (APOC4) and apolipoprotein C-II (APOC2) genes on chromosome 19. The read-through transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is thus unlikely to produce a protein product. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 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 5 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 19-44948488-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-44948488-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1374052.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-44948488-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg4*) in the APOC2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in APOC2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 1569385, 1971748, 26772541). This variant is present in population databases (rs202190413, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with apolipoprotein C-II deficiency (PMID: 1569385). This variant is also known as ApoC-II Paris2. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1374052). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The observed stop gained variant c.10C>T(p.Arg4Ter) in APOC2 gene has been reported in homozygous state in an individual with apolipoprotein C-II deficiency (Parrott CL, et al., 1992). The c.10C>T variant has 0.003% allele frequency in gnomAD Exomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic. Computational evidence (Mutation Taster - Disease causing) predicts damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant.This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing (Jiang J, et al.., 2016). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
