Genes affected
APOA1 (HGNC:600): (apolipoprotein A1) This gene encodes apolipoprotein A-I, which is the major protein component of high density lipoprotein (HDL) in plasma. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein, which promotes cholesterol efflux from tissues to the liver for excretion, and is a cofactor for lecithin cholesterolacyltransferase (LCAT), an enzyme responsible for the formation of most plasma cholesteryl esters. This gene is closely linked with two other apolipoprotein genes on chromosome 11. Defects in this gene are associated with HDL deficiencies, including Tangier disease, and with systemic non-neuropathic amyloidosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]

Variant summary: APOA1 c.181G>A (p.Ala61Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0028 in 277088 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.04 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 13 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within East Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 4000 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in APOA1 causing Apoliprotein A1 Amyloidosis phenotype (1e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of East Asian origin. c.181G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Apoliprotein A1 deficiency, familial hypercholesterolemia, and Moyamoya disease (Matsunaga_1991, Pek_2017, Shoemaker_2015). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Apoliprotein A1 Amyloidosis, Apolipoprotein-A1 deficiency or familial hypercholestrolemia. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported (APOA1 c.322C>T, p.Gln108X) in a female patient with apolipoprotein A-I deficiency, providing supporting evidence for a benign role (Matsunaga_1991). In addition, six control individuals who carry this variant showed normal plasma HDL cholesterol and apoA-I (Matsunaga_1991). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. One laboratory classified the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -

This alteration is classified as 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. -
