Submissions by phenotype
not provided Uncertain:6
- -
Identified in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia in published literature, although additional clinical information and segregation information were not provided (Dron et al., 2020; Reeskamp et al., 2020); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32088153, 32041611) -

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 238 of the ABCG8 protein (p.Glu238Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs34754243, gnomAD 0.2%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of familial hypercholesterolemia or dyslipidemia (PMID: 32041611, 32088153). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 291264). 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"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

ABCG8: PP3 -
Sitosterolemia 1 Uncertain:2
This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score, this variant could not be ruled out of causing disease and therefore its association with disease required further investigation. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (if applicable). No publications were found based on this search. This variant was therefore classified as a variant of unknown significance for this disease. -

Sitosterolemia Uncertain:1
This variant is interpreted as a Uncertain Significance - Insufficient Evidence, for Sitosterolemia, in Autosomal Recessive manner. The following ACMG Tag(s) were applied: PP3 => Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product. PM2 => Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Aggregation Consortium. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
The p.E238K variant (also known as c.712G>A), located in coding exon 6 of the ABCG8 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 712. The glutamic acid at codon 238 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been detected in hypercholesterolemia cohorts; however, additional details were limited (Reeskamp LF et al. J Clin Lipidol Jan;14:207-217.e7; Dron JS et al. BMC Med Genomics. 2020 Feb;13(1):23; Fath F et al. Sci Rep. 2021 Oct;11(1):20421). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
ABCG8-related disorder Benign:1
This variant is classified as likely benign based on ACMG/AMP sequence variant interpretation guidelines (Richards et al. 2015 PMID: 25741868, with internal and published modifications). -
