Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -10 ACMG points: 0P and 10B. BP4_StrongBP6BS1BS2_Supporting

The NM_174936.4(PCSK9):c.277C>T(p.Arg93Cys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000324 in 1,614,194 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 4 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R93H) has been classified as Likely benign.

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 was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -10 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.009103596).

BP6

Variant 1-55043912-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr1-55043912-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 413319.

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000295 (45/152350) while in subpopulation EAS AF = 0.00772 (40/5184). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00582. There are 1 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 26 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.

BS2

High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 3 AD,AR geneVariant has number of homozygotes lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.
