Genes affected
LCAT (HGNC:6522): (lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase) This gene encodes the extracellular cholesterol esterifying enzyme, lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase. The esterification of cholesterol is required for cholesterol transport. Mutations in this gene have been found to cause fish-eye disease as well as LCAT deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Arg159 amino acid residue in LCAT. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with LCAT-related conditions (PMID: 8620346), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3668). This variant is also known as Arg135Trp. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency (PMID: 8432868; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs28940887, gnomAD 0.004%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 159 of the LCAT protein (p.Arg159Trp). -
