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 creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu137*) in the APOB gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in APOB are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20032471). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (PMID: 34340953). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 404400). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Glu137Ter variant in APOB has not been previously reported in individuals with low LDL, but has been identified in 0.006483% (1/15424) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs766243954). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (VariationID: 404400) as pathogenic by Invitae and Fulgent Genetics. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 137, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the APOB gene is an established disease mechanism in low LDL. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of the p.Glu137Ter variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2 (Richards 2015). -
