Genes affected
APOC2 (HGNC:609): (apolipoprotein C2) This gene encodes a lipid-binding protein belonging to the apolipoprotein gene family. The protein is secreted in plasma where it is a component of very low density lipoprotein. This protein activates the enzyme lipoprotein lipase, which hydrolyzes triglycerides and thus provides free fatty acids for cells. Mutations in this gene cause hyperlipoproteinemia type IB, characterized by hypertriglyceridemia, xanthomas, and increased risk of pancreatitis and early atherosclerosis. This gene is present in a cluster with other related apolipoprotein genes on chromosome 19. Naturally occurring read-through transcription exists between this gene and the neighboring upstream apolipoprotein C-IV (APOC4) gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]

Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedcurationReproductive Health Research and Development, BGI GenomicsJan 06, 2020NM_000483.4:c.178G>A in the APOC2 gene has an allele frequency of 0.007 in African subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The p.Glu60Lys (NM_000483.4:c.178G>A) was reported as Glu38Lys andd apoc-IIsf in a paper published in 1993 (PMID: 8490626), which is verified by NCBI staff. This variant has been reported in patients with hyperlipidemic. However, functional studies showed no change in enzyme activity to activate lipoprotein lipase; and apoc-IIsf had no difference in the activation energy of the enzyme compared to the normal apoc-II (PubMed: 8490626). Taken together, we interprete this variant as variant of uncertain significance (VUS). ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BS3; PP4. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 05, 2019This 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. -
