Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points: 1P and 1B. PP3BS2_Supporting

The NM_174936.4(PCSK9):​c.791C>A​(p.Thr264Asn) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000434 in 1,613,002 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 13/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. T264I) 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 made for transcript

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points.

PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.781
BS2
High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 5 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.

Hypercholesterolemia, autosomal dominant, 3 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthNov 02, 2023This missense variant replaces threonine with asparagine at codon 264 of the PCSK9 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia in the literature. This variant has been identified in 3/247838 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
