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]

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 05, 2016Variant summary: The PCSK9 variant, c.1395G>A (p.Ser465Ser) causes a synonymous change involving a non-conserved nucleotide with 5/5 in silico programs via Alamut predicting no significant effect on splicing, although these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. The variant of interest has been observed in the large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency of 118/121334 (1/1028), predominantly in the African cohort, 112/10394 (1/92), which significantly exceeds the estimated maximum expected allele frequency for a pathogenic PCSK9 variant of 1/53191. Therefore, suggesting that the variant is a common polymorphism found in population(s) of African origin. The variant of interest, to our knowledge, has not been reported in affected individuals via publications and/or reputable clinical laboratories/databases. Therefore, taking all available lines of evidence into consideration, the variant of interest is classified as Benign. -
