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.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Likely Benign based on current evidence: This variant (also known as p.Pro1116Ser in the mature protein) is a missense variant located in the beta 1 domain of the APOB protein. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may not impact the protein function. Computational splicing tools suggest that this variant may not impact the RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional assays have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in a Norwegian individual with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 18710658) but it has also been identified in 464/277174 chromosomes (0.17%) in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant allele frequency is greater than expected for the disorder based on prevalence, penetrance, and genetic heterogeneity. Based on available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Benign. -

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

The APOB c.3427C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro1143Ser. This variant has been reported in individuals with hypercholesterolemia or high HDL-C level (Leren et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18710658; Motazacker et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23685560. Table SIV). However, it has also been reported in individuals with low lipid or triglyceride levels (Neale et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21408211; Xing et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22256951). This variant is reported in 0.28% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. In Clinvar, this variant has conflicting interpretations of likely benign and uncertain significance (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/237744/). Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

This 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. -
