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.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 50 of the APOB protein (p.Arg50Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs749903604, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 24498611; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 438309). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt APOB protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. Studies have shown that this missense change alters APOB peptide levels (PMID: 24498611). This variant disrupts the p.Arg50 amino acid residue in APOB. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with APOB-related conditions (PMID: 29386597), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

The p.R50W variant (also known as c.148C>T), located in coding exon 3 of the APOB gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 148. The arginine at codon 50 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in individuals familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), including segregating wth disease in one family (Thomas ER et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med, 2013 Sep;1:155-61; Futema M et al. J Med Genet, 2014 Aug;51:537-44). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
