Genes affected
PCSK9 (HGNC:20001): (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) This gene encodes a member of the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family, which includes proteases that process protein and peptide precursors trafficking through regulated or constitutive branches of the secretory pathway. The encoded protein undergoes an autocatalytic processing event with its prosegment in the ER and is constitutively secreted as an inactive protease into the extracellular matrix and trans-Golgi network. It is expressed in liver, intestine and kidney tissues and escorts specific receptors for lysosomal degradation. It plays a role in cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.

PM1
In a strand (size 2) in uniprot entity PCSK9_HUMAN there are 4 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_174936.4
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr1-55057454-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 265939.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 6 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Hypercholesterolemia, autosomal dominant, 3 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthDec 07, 2023This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 374 of the PCSK9 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). An experimental functional study has shown that this variant may not have adverse effects on function (PMID: 22875854). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with familial hypercholesterolemia, in an individual with atrioventricular block of unknown cause (PMID: 35470684), and in two individuals showing normal LDL-C levels (PMID: 28008010). This variant has been identified in 20/282536 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Different missense variants occurring at the same codon, p.Asp374Tyr and p.Asp374His, are known to cause familial hypercholesterolemia (Clinvar variation ID: 2875, 265939), indicating that aspartate at this position is important for the protein function. The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
