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.

Submissions by phenotype

Hypercholesterolemia, autosomal dominant, type B;C4551990:Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia 1 Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeSep 10, 2023This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (PMID: 2843815, 33207932). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1333*) 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 also known as Arg1306->Term. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17883). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
