Genes affected
APOB (HGNC:603): (apolipoprotein B) This gene product is the main apolipoprotein of chylomicrons and low density lipoproteins (LDL), and is the ligand for the LDL receptor. It occurs in plasma as two main isoforms, apoB-48 and apoB-100: the former is synthesized exclusively in the gut and the latter in the liver. The intestinal and the hepatic forms of apoB are encoded by a single gene from a single, very long mRNA. The two isoforms share a common N-terminal sequence. The shorter apoB-48 protein is produced after RNA editing of the apoB-100 transcript at residue 2180 (CAA->UAA), resulting in the creation of a stop codon, and early translation termination. Mutations in this gene or its regulatory region cause hypobetalipoproteinemia, normotriglyceridemic hypobetalipoproteinemia, and hypercholesterolemia due to ligand-defective apoB, diseases affecting plasma cholesterol and apoB levels.

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. -

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. -
