Genes affected
APOB (HGNC:603): (apolipoprotein B) This gene product is the main apolipoprotein of chylomicrons and low density lipoproteins (LDL), and is the ligand for the LDL receptor. It occurs in plasma as two main isoforms, apoB-48 and apoB-100: the former is synthesized exclusively in the gut and the latter in the liver. The intestinal and the hepatic forms of apoB are encoded by a single gene from a single, very long mRNA. The two isoforms share a common N-terminal sequence. The shorter apoB-48 protein is produced after RNA editing of the apoB-100 transcript at residue 2180 (CAA->UAA), resulting in the creation of a stop codon, and early translation termination. Mutations in this gene or its regulatory region cause hypobetalipoproteinemia, normotriglyceridemic hypobetalipoproteinemia, and hypercholesterolemia due to ligand-defective apoB, diseases affecting plasma cholesterol and apoB levels.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNew York Genome CenterFeb 11, 2022The c.218C>A variant identified in APOB has previously been reported in the literature in individuals with dyslipidemia [PMID:24503134, 33303402] and deposited in ClinVar as variant of unknown significance [ClinVar ID: 548044]. This variant is observed in 17 alleles (~0.003% minor allele frequency; 0 homozygote) in population databases (gnomAD v2.1.1 and v3.1.2, TOPMed Freeze 8), suggesting it is not a common benign variant in the populations represented in those databases. The c.218C>A variant is located in exon 3 of this 29-exon gene, and predicted to replace an alanine amino acid with aspartate at codon 73 (p.(Ala73Asp) within N-terminal Vitellogenin domain. In silico predictions are inconclusive of deleterious effect (CADD v1.6= 22.2, REVEL= 0.129); however, there are no functional studies to support or refute these predictions. Based on available evidence this c.218C>A p.(Ala73Asp) variant identified in APOB is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 13, 2024This 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. -
