Genes affected
APOB (HGNC:603): (apolipoprotein B) This gene product is the main apolipoprotein of chylomicrons and low density lipoproteins (LDL), and is the ligand for the LDL receptor. It occurs in plasma as two main isoforms, apoB-48 and apoB-100: the former is synthesized exclusively in the gut and the latter in the liver. The intestinal and the hepatic forms of apoB are encoded by a single gene from a single, very long mRNA. The two isoforms share a common N-terminal sequence. The shorter apoB-48 protein is produced after RNA editing of the apoB-100 transcript at residue 2180 (CAA->UAA), resulting in the creation of a stop codon, and early translation termination. Mutations in this gene or its regulatory region cause hypobetalipoproteinemia, normotriglyceridemic hypobetalipoproteinemia, and hypercholesterolemia due to ligand-defective apoB, diseases affecting plasma cholesterol and apoB levels.

The c.2657A>G p.(Asn886Ser) variant identified in the APOB gene is predicted to result in the substitution of an Asparagine for Serineat amino acid 886/4564 (exon 18/29). This variant is found with low frequency in population databases gnomAD, BRAVO-TOPMed Freeze 8, All of Us (allele frequency=1.1e-4) suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in those databases. In silico algorithms do not predict a damaging effect to the function of the canonical protein (REVEL=0.153). This variant reported in ClinVar as a Variant of Uncertain Significance [VarID:237742] and to our current knowledge has not been reported in affected individuals in the literature. Given the lack of compelling evidence for its pathogenicity, the c.2657A>Gp.(Asn886Ser) variant identified in the APOB gene is reported as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The p.N886S variant (also known as c.2657A>G), located in coding exon 18 of the APOB gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 2657. The asparagine at codon 886 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
