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.

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jun 22, 2021	This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 20657596, 27153395, 26036859, 26415676, 19602640, 30681615, 26582918) -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Oct 09, 2023	The APOB c.5066G>A; p.Arg1689His variant (rs151009667), also known as Arg1662His for legacy nomenclature, is reported in the literature in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (Johansen 2010, Radovica-Spalvina 2015), but is also reported to not segregate with disease in one study (Braenne 2016). However, this variant is reported to be positively associated with familial hypercholesterolemia in a Saudi population with an odds ratio of 45.07 (95% CI: 2.67-759.1; p=0.0001) and may be a risk factor (Batais 2019). The p.Arg1689His variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 189304). It is observed in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.1% (387/282574 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.222). Due to conflicting information, the significance of this variant is uncertain at this time.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	New York Genome Center	Apr 20, 2021	The c.5066G>A (p.Arg1689His) variant identified in the APOB gene substitutes a conserved Arginine for Histidine at amino acid 1689/4564 (exon 26/29). This variant is found in gnomAD(v3.1.1) (207 heterozygotes, 0 homozygotes; allele frequency: 1.36e-3), and there is one homozygote present in population data from gnomAD(v2.1.1) (387 heterozygotes, 1 homozygote; allele frequency: 1.37e-3). In silico algorithms predict this variant to be Damaging (SIFT; score:0.003) and Benign (REVEL; 0.222) to the function of the canonical transcript. This variant is reported as both a Variant of Uncertain Significance and Likely Benign in ClinVar (VarID:189304). This variant has been reported in several affected individuals in the literature [PMID: 20657596,26415676,26036859, 30681615], although it does not segregate with disease in some studies [PMID:26036859]. The p.Arg1689 residue is not within a mapped domain of APOB (UniProtKB:P04114). The c.5066G>A (p.Arg1689His) variant identified in the APOB gene is reported as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Oct 02, 2017	p.Arg1689His in exon 26 of APOB: This variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it was identified in 0.3% (342/126440) of European chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/; dbSNP rs151009667). In addition, while it has been reported in 5 individuals with hypertriglyceridemia or a history of early myocardial infarction, it did not segregate with disease in 3 affected relatives from 3 families (Johansen 2010, Braenne 2015). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID:189304). ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BS1, BS4 (Richards 2015). -

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases did not allow this variant to be ruled in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Likely Benign variant based on current evidence: This missense variant (also known as p.Arg1662His in the mature protein) is located in the beta 1 domain of the APOB protein. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may not impact the protein function. Computational splicing tools suggest that this variant may not impact the RNA splicing. To our knowledge this variant has not been investigated for functional impact in experimental studies nor has the variant been reported in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia in the literature. In a study of individuals affected with myocardial infarction, carrier status of this variant showed no correlation with cholesterol levels (PMID: 26036859). This variant has been identified in 342/126440 non-Finnish European chromosomes (0.27%) in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant allele frequency is greater than expected for the disorder based on prevalence, penetrance, and genetic/allelic heterogeneity. Based on available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Benign. -
