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 Benign. Variant got -7 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.58).
BP6
Variant 1-55058082-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr1-55058082-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 413314.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=6, Uncertain_significance=2}. Variant chr1-55058082-C-T is described in Lovd as [Likely_benign].
BP7
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-3.32 with no splicing effect.
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 8 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaApr 27, 2017This 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. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
