Genes affected
PCSK9 (HGNC:20001): (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) This gene encodes a member of the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family, which includes proteases that process protein and peptide precursors trafficking through regulated or constitutive branches of the secretory pathway. The encoded protein undergoes an autocatalytic processing event with its prosegment in the ER and is constitutively secreted as an inactive protease into the extracellular matrix and trans-Golgi network. It is expressed in liver, intestine and kidney tissues and escorts specific receptors for lysosomal degradation. It plays a role in cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 15, 2016Variant summary: The PCSK9 c.757C>T (p.Leu253Phe) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 3/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this substitution (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index). This variant was found in 31/118852 control chromosomes, predominantly observed in the African subpopulation at a frequency of 0.0030852 (31/10048). This frequency is about 33 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic PCSK9 variant (0.0000938), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of African origin. Moreover, the variant was reported to be associated with about a 30% reduction of LDL-C levels further supporting a non-disease causing impact. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Benign:1
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsAug 30, 2022This alteration is classified as 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. -
