This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe3039Serfs*5) in the APOB gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in APOB are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20032471). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with APOB-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 544076). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia 1 Pathogenic:2
The APOB c.9115_9119del p.(Phe3039SerfsTer5) variant causes a shift in the protein reading frame that is predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. Loss of normal protein function through nonsense-mediated mRNA decay is expected. This variant has been identified in an individual with a phenotype consistent with familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (PMID: 33454241). This variant is not observed at a significant frequency in version 2.1.1 or version 4.0.0 of the Genome Aggregation Database. Based on the available evidence, the c.9115_9119del p.(Phe3039SerfsTer5) variant is classified as likely pathogenic for familial hypobetalipoproteinemia. -

Variant summary: APOB c.9115_9119delTTTTC (p.Phe3039SerfsX5) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250480 control chromosomes. c.9115_9119delTTTTC has been reported in the literature in individuals evaluated for APOB-related conditions without reported phenotypes (e.g. Dron_2023, Oetjens_2019). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 36723951, 31653860). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 544076). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
