Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PM1 PM5 PP3_Moderate PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_001407240.1(PCSK9):​c.767G>A​(p.Arg256His) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000411 in 1,461,560 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R256C) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 14 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 4 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 12 uncertain in NM_001407240.1
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr1-55052397-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 633346.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.932
• PP5: Variant 1-55052398-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-55052398-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 201127.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
