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]

Hypercholesterolemia, autosomal dominant, 3 Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpMay 05, 2022This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 204 of the PCSK9 protein (p.Asp204Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs793888521, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with PCSK9-related conditions (PMID: 26036859, 27050191; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 189308). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthAug 23, 2023This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 204 of the PCSK9 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). A functional study has shown that this variant causes increased PCSK9 proteolytic activity in vitro (PMID: 29259136). This variant has been reported in two related individuals affected with myocardial infarction and one of them showed high cholesterol levels (PMID: 26036859), in an individual affected with coronary artery disease (PMID 27050191), and ain n individual with elevated total cholesterol levels (PMID: 32009526). This variant has been identified in 5/251306 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
