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]

Submissions by phenotype

Hypercholesterolemia, autosomal dominant, 3 Uncertain:1Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 25, 2024- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaMay 29, 2019This 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. -
Hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthSep 25, 2017Variant of Uncertain Significance due to insufficient evidence: This variant is a missense variant located in the signal peptide domain of the PCSK9 protein. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may not impact the protein function. Computational splicing tools suggest that this variant may not impact the RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional assays have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in multiple Japanese individuals with FH (PMID 26374825, 27206942) but also reported to be a common polymorphism in Japan (PMID 14727156, 27206942). This variant has been identified in 7/1727 East Asian chromosomes in the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) general population database. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 30, 2020This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
Familial hypercholesterolemia Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthApr 27, 2018Likely Benign based on current evidence: This missense variant is located in the signal peptide domain of the PCSK9 protein. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may not impact the protein function. Computational splicing tools suggest that this variant may not impact the RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional assays have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in multiple Japanese individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 26374825, 27206942) but also reported to be a common polymorphism in Japan (PMID: 14727156, 27206942). This variant has been identified in 24/12184 East Asian chromosomes (0.1969%) in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant allele frequency is greater than expected for the disorder based on prevalence, penetrance, and genetic/allelic heterogeneity. Based on available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Benign. -
