Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PVS1_ModeratePP5

The NM_005357.4(LIPE):​c.3203_3221delTAGACGGGGGCTGCGGGGG​(p.Val1068GlyfsTer102) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000566 in 151,870 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).

Genes affected
LIPE (HGNC:6621): (lipase E, hormone sensitive type) The protein encoded by this gene has a long and a short form, generated by use of alternative translational start codons. The long form is expressed in steroidogenic tissues such as testis, where it converts cholesteryl esters to free cholesterol for steroid hormone production. The short form is expressed in adipose tissue, among others, where it hydrolyzes stored triglycerides to free fatty acids. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Variant summary: LIPE c.3203_3221del19 (p.Val1068GlyfsX102) causes a frameshift which results in an extension of the protein and is not expected to undergo nonsense mediated decay. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00048 in 1479348 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. Notably, it is found at a frequency of 0.024 within individuals of Amish ancestry. c.3203_3221del19 has been reported in the literature in the homozygous state in four siblings with clinical features of LIPE-Related Familial Partial Lipodystrophy from an Old Order Amish family where the variant primarily segregated with the disease phenotype amongst a total of ten siblings (Albert_2014). The variant has also been reported either in the heterozygous state or as an uninformative genotype in at least two other individuals with low HDL cholesterol/dyslipidemia who underwent WES/multigene panel testing (e.g. Dron_2020, Dong_2022). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Albert_2014). In vitro, the variant was not found to significantly affect mRNA expression, but resulted in reduced protein levels. Additionally, in subcutaneous abdominal adipocytes from homozygous individuals, no protein was detected and triglyceride lipase activity and cholesterol ester hydrolase activity were reduced compared to wild type individuals and heterozygous carriers. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 24848981, 35460704, 32041611). Three submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

The LIPE c.3203_3221del19 variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Val1068Glyfs*102). This variant has been reported in the homozygous state in four siblings from an Amish community with partial lipodystrophy (p.V767Gfs*102 in Albert et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24848981). Albert et al. also found that heterozygous individuals did not display the same adipose-tissue dysfunction as homozygous individuals; however, they did present with a range of features including dyslipidemia, hepatic steatosis, and diabetes (Albert et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24848981). In addition, other studies have suggested that this variant leads to an increased risk of hypertriglyceridemia and other types of dyslipidemia when found in the heterozygous state (Table S2 in Deshotels et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 36325899; Table S4 in Dron et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32041611). Familial segregation data and biochemical studies support its pathogenicity (Albert et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24848981). This variant is reported in 0.27% of alleles in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in gnomAD; however, the quality of the data at this position is questionable and should be interpreted with caution. Frameshift variants in LIPE are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
