Genes affected

APOE (HGNC:613): (apolipoprotein E) The protein encoded by this gene is a major apoprotein of the chylomicron. It binds to a specific liver and peripheral cell receptor, and is essential for the normal catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein constituents. This gene maps to chromosome 19 in a cluster with the related apolipoprotein C1 and C2 genes. Mutations in this gene result in familial dysbetalipoproteinemia, or type III hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP III), in which increased plasma cholesterol and triglycerides are the consequence of impaired clearance of chylomicron and VLDL remnants.

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points.

PP2

Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 16 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 2 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.74028 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: -1.1391 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to hyperlipoproteinemia type 3, sea-blue histiocyte syndrome, lipoprotein glomerulopathy, Alzheimer disease 2.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.4148036).

BP6

Variant 19-44907894-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr19-44907894-A-G is described in ClinVar as Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 17871.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This 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. -
