Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_004631.5(LRP8):c.2855G>T(p.Arg952Leu) variant causes a missense, splice region change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 2/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R952P) has been classified as Uncertain significance.
LRP8 (HGNC:6700): (LDL receptor related protein 8) This gene encodes a member of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) family. Low density lipoprotein receptors are cell surface proteins that play roles in both signal transduction and receptor-mediated endocytosis of specific ligands for lysosomal degradation. The encoded protein plays a critical role in the migration of neurons during development by mediating Reelin signaling, and also functions as a receptor for the cholesterol transport protein apolipoprotein E. Expression of this gene may be a marker for major depressive disorder. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
