Genes affected
PCSK9 (HGNC:20001): (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) This gene encodes a member of the subtilisin-like proprotein convertase family, which includes proteases that process protein and peptide precursors trafficking through regulated or constitutive branches of the secretory pathway. The encoded protein undergoes an autocatalytic processing event with its prosegment in the ER and is constitutively secreted as an inactive protease into the extracellular matrix and trans-Golgi network. It is expressed in liver, intestine and kidney tissues and escorts specific receptors for lysosomal degradation. It plays a role in cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism. Mutations in this gene have been associated with autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]

Submissions by phenotype

Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 15, 2018The p.S89W variant (also known as c.266C>G), located in coding exon 2 of the PCSK9 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 266. The serine at codon 89 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. Based on data from gnomAD, the G allele has an overall frequency of approximately 0.029% (71/246028) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.227% (70/30782) of South Asian alleles. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species, and tryptophan 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. -
