Description

Reported in patients with hypercholesterolemia and combined hyperlipidemia; however, some patients also harbored additional variants in hypercholesterolemia-related genes (PMID: 24234650, 22095935, 29459468, 33303402, 34456049); In vitro functional studies in LDL separated from lymphocytes and U937 cells showed the APOB-P994L had a neutral effect on LDL-binding and proliferation (PMID: 30270084); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 22095935, 37937776, 22534770, 30270084, 33303402, 29459468, 34456049, 35913489, 24234650, 37848354, 36190978, Malaquias2023 [abstract], 30694319)

Description

Genetic testing: The patient had genetic testing for the familial hypercholesterolemia panel. The test included sequencing of three genes associated with familial hypercholesterolemia: LDLR, APOB and PCSK9. p.Pro994Leu (c.2981C>T) in the APOB gene (NM_000384.2) The lab classifies this variant as a variant of unknown significance. Given a lack of significant case data and presence in the general population we consider this variant of unknown significance, likely benign and we do not feel it is related to a patient's condition and is not suitable for assessing risk in healthy relatives ("predictive genetic testing"). This variant was reported by Alves AC et al. Hum Mol Genet. 2014;23(7):1817-28 in a patient with FH that also had a pathogenic LDLR variant, otherwise it has not been reported in patients with FH. Invitae Genetics has seen this variant and reported it as likely benign in Clinvar. Our patient has heterozygous FH and a very likely pathogenic variant in LDLR making it even less likely that this causes FH. In silico analysis with PolyPhen-2 predicts the variant to be benign (HumVar: 0.411). The proline at codon 994 is conserved across species with the exception of the mega bat. There are no pathogenic variants listed in clinvar near codon 994. There are 140 individuals with variation at codon 994 listed in the Genome Aggregation Consortium Dataset (gnomAD; http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/), which currently includes variant calls on 141,246 unrelated individuals of African, Asian, European, Latino, and Ashkenazi descent. This corresponds to a frequency of 1 in 1009 individuals and is too common to be a significant cause of FH given it's lack of presence in patients with FH.
