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]

APOC2 links:

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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Aug 23, 2024	Observed in the heterozygous state in individuals with renal amyloidosis, dyslipidemia, and acute myocardial infaraction (AMI) in published literature (PMID: 33111339, 30197986, 30686043, 36555767, 36325899); In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22135386, 1782747, 30686043, 34426522, 31589614, 33111339, 30197986, 36555767, 33395107, 36325899) -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Aug 21, 2022	This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 41 of the APOC2 protein (p.Lys41Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs120074114, gnomAD 0.1%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of APOC2-related conditions (PMID: 1782747, 22135386, 24788417, 33111339). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 2581). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Apr 27, 2017	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). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to rule this variant out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as benign. -

The APOC2 c.122A>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Lys41Thr. This variant was reported in individuals with apolipoprotein C2 deficiency/amyloidosis/hyperlipidemia (reported as p.Lys19Thr, Hegele et al. 1991. PubMed ID: 1782747; reported as p.K19T in Figure, Johansen et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 22135386; Sethi et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30197986; Table S6, Marmontel. 2020. PubMed ID: 33111339). This variant is reported in 0.12% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. In ClinVar, this variant is interpreted as benign/uncertain/likely pathogenic/pathogenic (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/2581/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

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. -
