Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM1

The NM_001407240.1(PCSK9):​c.778C>G​(p.Gln260Glu) variant causes a missense, splice region change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000192 in 1,613,662 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. Q260R) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]
