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.

The p.R2907H variant (also known as c.8720G>A), located in coding exon 26 of the APOB gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 8720. The arginine at codon 2907 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species, and histidine is the reference amino acid in other 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. -

To the best of our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00029 (9/30604 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 predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Likely Benign based on current evidence: This missense variant (also known as p.Arg2880His in the mature protein) is located in the beta 2 domain of the APOB protein. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may not impact the protein function. This variant occurs in more than 10 mammalian species, suggesting that the variant is functionally tolerated. 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 nor has the variant been reported in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia in the literature. This variant has been identified in 14/246020 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Benign. -
