Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM5
The NM_174936.4(PCSK9):c.1120G>A(p.Asp374Asn) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000341 in 1,613,908 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D374H) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Hypercholesterolemia, autosomal dominant, 3    Uncertain:1 
This 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. -
