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.

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

The APOB c.13288T>A (p.Ser4430Thr) variant (also known as S4403T) has been reported in the heterozygous state in individuals affected with hypercholesterolemia (PMIDs: 36411388 (2023), 27919364 (2016)), hypertriglyceridemia (PMID: 20657596 (2010)), and ischemic stroke associated with borderline total cholesterol level (PMID: 36411388 (2023)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0002 (7/35364 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is deleterious or benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

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. -

Variant summary: APOB c.13288T>A (p.Ser4430Thr) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.6e-05 in 249878 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 3.8-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in APOB causing Familial Hypercholesterolemia phenotype (2e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.13288T>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia or hypertriglyceridemia without strong evidence of causality (e.g. Johansen_2010, Kusters_2013, Sjouke_2016). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Familial Hypercholesterolemia. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Eight submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and classified it as uncertain significance (n=6) or likely benign (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine
Significance: Likely benign
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Ser4430Thr variant in APOB is classified as likely benign due to a lack of conservation across species. 13 mammals carry a threonine (Thr) at this position despite high nearby amino acid conservation. In addition, computational prediction tools predict that this variant does not impact the protein. It has been identified in 0.02% (7/35364) of POPULATION chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: BP4_Strong, BS1_Supporting. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.S4430T variant (also known as c.13288T>A), located in coding exon 29 of the APOB gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 13288. The serine at codon 4430 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was reported in association with hypertriglyceridemia (Johansen CT et al. Nat. Genet., 2010 Aug;42:684-7; Sjouke B et al. J Clin Lipidol, 2016 Sep;10:1462-1469). This alteration has also been reported in a Turkish whole exome sequencing cohort (Kars ME et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2021 Sep;118:). This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
