It has been previously reported in >500 individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and segregated with disease in >50 affected relatives (Soria 1989 PMID: 2563166, März 1993 PMID: 8254047, Leren 1997 PMID: 9104431, Ludwig 1990 PMID: 1977310, Bednarska-Makaruk 2001 PMID: 11781700, Horvath 2001 PMID: 11494965, Kalina 2001 PMID: 11137107). It has also been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 17890) and has been identified in 0.06% (76/128568) of European chromosomes, including 1 homozygote, by the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). This frequency is low enough to be consistent with the frequency of FH in the general population. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia based upon presence in multiple affected individuals and segregation studies. Please note that pathogenic variants in APOB can have reduced penetrance and a less severe phenotype than disease-causing LDLR or PCSK9 variants (Youngblom and Knowles, GeneReviews, PMID: 24404629). ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS4_Strong; PP1_Strong.

Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	RCV000412515	SCV000426986	pathogenic	Hypercholesterolemia, autosomal dominant, type B	2023-05-02	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The APOB c.10580G>A (p.Arg3527Gln) missense variant, also reported as p.Arg3500Gln, results in the substitution of arginine at amino acid position 3527 with glutamine. The c.10580G>A variant is well described in the literature and reported as one of the two most common variants associated with familial hypercholesterolemia, particularly in individuals of European ancestry (PMID: 24404629). Across a selection of the available literature, the c.10580G>A variant has been found in a heterozygous state in 42 individuals with the disorder (PMID: 2563166; PMID: 9603795; PMID: 10952765; PMID: 11494965; PMID: 11781700; PMID: 26036859). Four of the studies demonstrated segregation of the variant with disease (PMID: 2563166; PMID: 10952765; PMID: 11494965; PMID: 26036859). Control data are unavailable for this variant, which is reported at a frequency of 0.000591 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Genome Aggregation Database, which includes one homozygote (version 2.1.1) and at a frequency of 0.06798 in the Amish population (version 3.1.2), which is high but consistent with the prevalence of familial hypercholesterolemia in this population. Functional studies in transgenic mice showed that the variant resulted in defective LDL receptor binding (PMID: 11115503). Based on the available evidence, the c.10580G>A (p.Arg3527Gln) variant is classified as pathogenic for familial hypercholesterolemia.

Invitae	RCV001837437	SCV000541940	pathogenic	Hypercholesterolemia, autosomal dominant, type B; Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia 1	2024-01-30	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 3527 of the APOB protein (p.Arg3527Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs5742904, gnomAD 0.06%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 2563166, 9105560, 10388479, 18222178, 18325181, 21059979, 21868016, 23375686, 24404629). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17890). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on APOB protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects APOB function (PMID: 11115503, 15797858). This variant disrupts the p.Arg3527 amino acid residue in APOB. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 7627691). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Human Genome Sequencing Center Clinical Lab, Baylor College of Medicine	RCV000412515	SCV000839879	pathogenic	Hypercholesterolemia, autosomal dominant, type B	2017-05-25	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This c.10580G>A (p.Arg3527Gln) variant in the APOB gene has previously been reported in multiple patients with hypercholesterolemia [PMID 2563166, 23375686, 18325181, 27497240, 24956927, 21059979, 9603795 among others, reported as p.Arg3500Gln]. This variant is the most common cause of hypercholesterolemia due to an APOB variant and is common among Northern European populations. This change disrupts the binding of low density lipoproteins (LDL) onto the LDL receptor. The receptor mediated catabolism is thus disrupted and LDL accumulates in the plasma. The disorder caused by this specific variant is sometimes referred as hypercholesterolemia, due to ligand-defective apo B [MIM 144010]. This variant has been observed in 28 heterozygous individuals from the ExAC database (http://exac.broadinstitute.org/variant/2-21229160-C-T). Arginine at position 3527 of the APOB protein is highly conserved within mammals. While not validated for clinical use, the computer-based algorithms predict this p.Arg3527Gln change to be deleterious. It is thus interpreted as a pathogenic variant.
Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	RCV000254882	SCV000887561	pathogenic	not provided	2022-08-08	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The APOB c.10580G>A (p.Arg3527Gln) variant has been reported in the published literature in several individuals and families affected with hypercholesterolemia (PMIDs: 2563166 (1989), 9603795 (1998), 10388479 (1999), 23375686 (2013), 24404629 (2016), 31345425 (2019)). It has been reported to be strongly associated with disease in families affected with hypercholesterolemia (PMIDs: 2563166 (1989), 21868016 (2011)) and has been reported as a founder mutation in the Amish community (PMID: 21059979 (2010)). Published functional studies demonstrate that this variant is damaging to LDL receptor binding (PMIDs: 10388479 (1999), 11115503 (2001)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	RCV000771116	SCV000902821	pathogenic	Familial hypercholesterolemia	2024-01-10	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This missense variant (also known as p.Arg3500Gln) is located in the beta 2 domain of the APOB protein. Computational prediction tools indicate that this variant has a deleterious impact on protein structure and function. Functional studies have shown that the variant affects APOB protein conformation and impairs its binding to the LDLR protein (PMID: 8254047, 9486979, 10388479, 11115503, 15797858). This variant has been reported in numerous individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia in multiple populations (PMID: 1466657, 2563166, 8254047, 9104431, 9105560, 9603795, 10388479, 11137107, 11494965, 11781700, 18222178, 18325181, 1977310, 21059979, 21868016, 23375686, 24956927, 32591292, 35052492, 35741760, 37593691) and has been shown to segregate with hypercholesterolemia in multiple families (PMID: 2563166, 8254047, 21868016). A different missense variant at the same position, p.Arg3527Trp, is known to be pathogenic (ClinVar variation ID 40223), indicating that arginine at this position is important for APOB protein function. This variant has been identified in 83/282162 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). APOB mutations show incomplete penetrance, and individuals with APOB mutations may show a less severe phenotype than familial hypercholesterolemia patients with LDLR mutations (PMID: 8141833, 21868016, 21513517; GeneReviews NBK174884). In summary, the mutant APOB protein harboring this variant is functionally defective and has shown significant clinical association with familial hypercholesterolemia. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	RCV000771116	SCV000918478	pathogenic	Familial hypercholesterolemia	2017-11-10	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Variant summary: The APOB c.10580G>A (p.Arg3527Gln) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 3/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). This variant was found in 79/279708 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0002824, which is approximately 9 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic APOB variant (0.0000313). However, this is a well-characterized pathogenic mutation and is known to be frequent in certain populations. The variant has been identified in many affected individuals and families with hypercholesterolemia and is common in central Europe, particularly in Switzerland (frequency, 1:209) and Belgium (frequency, 1:250) (Sabbagh_APOB_MolBiolRep_2007). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard	RCV000412515	SCV001422754	pathogenic	Hypercholesterolemia, autosomal dominant, type B	2020-01-22	criteria provided, single submitter	curation	The p.Arg3527Gln variant in APOB has been reported in at least 640 individuals with high LDL, segregated with disease in 6 affected relatives from 1 family (PMID: 28428224; doi:10.4172/2157-7412), and has been Identified in 0.05911% (76/128568) of European (non-Finnish) Chromosomes, and at lower frequencies in other populations, by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs5742904). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (VariationID: 17890) as likely pathogenic by 3 submitters, pathogenic by 16 submitters, and as a VUS by 1 submitter. Animal models in mice demonstrating decreased binding affinity of LDL for its receptor have shown that this variant causes high LDL (PMID: 9486979). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. Multiple variants in the same region as p.Arg3527Gln variant have been reported in association with disease in ClinVar and the literature and the variant is located in a region of APOB that is essential to normal receptor binding, suggesting that this variant is in a hot spot and functional domain and supports pathogenicity (PMID: 9486979; Variation ID: 40223, 440523). The two additional pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants, resulting in a different amino acid change at the same position, p.Arg3527Trp and p.Arg3527Leu, have been reported in association with the disease in the literature and ClinVar, supporting that a change at this position may not be tolerated (VariationID: 40223, 440523). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for high LDL in an autosomal dominant manner based on the prevalence of the variant in affected individuals and relatives, the reports that the variant is essential for normal receptor binding, and mouse models demonstrating the variant to be causative of disease.

This variant has bene observed in a number of individuals and families with FH (Garcia-Garcia 2011, Radovica-Splavina 2015, Shen 2010, Soria 1989) and functional studies have demonstrated that this variant results in decreased low density lipoprotein (LDL) binding affinity (Benn 2005, Boren 2001). Based on this evidence, we consider this variant to be pathogenic. PS4; PP1; PS3
Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, Rady Children's Hospital San Diego	RCV000412515	SCV001443719	pathogenic	Hypercholesterolemia, autosomal dominant, type B	2019-10-17	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This variant has been previously reported as heterozygous change in patients with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 9105560, 21059979, 18325181, 18222178, 10388479, 23375686, 2563166, 21868016). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change disturbs the APOB protein conformation, therefore reducing its ability to act as inhibitor of the LDL receptor (PMID: 11115503, 15797858). This variant is also known in the literature as p.Arg3500Gln (PMID: 27919345). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 17890). It is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.03% (83/282162), and one homozygous individual is also reported. The c.10580G>A (p.Arg3527Gln) variant affects a highly conserved amino acid and is predicted by multiple in silico tools to have a deleterious effect on protein function. Based on the available evidence, the c.10580G>A (p.Arg3527Gln) variant is classified as Pathogenic.

The variant is reported as pathogenic by many sources in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 17890) and is found in the non-Finnish European population with an allele frequency of 0.06% (76/128,568 alleles including 1 homozygote) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The arginine at codon 3527 is highly conserved, and computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL:0.735). In support of this prediction, functional studies show that the variant results in defective LDL binding (Boren 2001). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic.

This alteration (also reported as p.R3500Q) was initially reported in seven unrelated probands with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and found to segregate with disease in two families (Soria et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 1989; 86(2):587-91). This pathogenic mutation has been reported to be responsible for 2-6% of Western European FH cases and has been reported as an Amish founder mutation (Heath KE et al. Atherosclerosis. 1999;143(1):41-54; Lombardi et al. Clin Genet. 2000;57(2):116-24; Chmara M et al. J Appl Genet. 2010;51(1):95-106; Shen H et al. Arch Intern Med. 2010;170(20):1850-5). In addition, this alteration has been reported to result in defective low-density lipoprotein receptor binding (Boren J et al. J Clin Invest. 1998;101(5):1084-93). Two alterations at the same codon, p.R3527L and p.R3527W (reported as p.R3500L and p.R3500W), have also been associated with FH (Gaffney D et al. Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol. 1995;15:1025-9; Fouchier SW et al. Hum. Mutat. 2005;26:550-6). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
Genetics and Molecular Pathology, SA Pathology	RCV000412515	SCV002761491	pathogenic	Hypercholesterolemia, autosomal dominant, type B	2023-07-12	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The APOB c.10580G>A variant is classified as Pathogenic (PS4, PS3, PP1_Strong, PP3) The APOB c.10580G>A variant is a single nucleotide change in exon 26/29 of the APOB gene, which is predicted to change the amino acid arginine at position 3527 in the protein to glutamine. This variant is a well-known cause of hypercholesterolemia due to defective ApoB mainly in people of European ancestry and is reported as an Amish founder variant (PMID: 24404629). This variant has been reported in multiple unrelated affected individuals (PMID: 21059979) and with low allele frequency in gnomAD population data, demonstrating that this variant is enriched in the disease population (PS4). Note that this variant has also been reported as R3500Q in the literature. A paper by Soria et. al, 1989 (PMID: 2563166) reports segregation with disease in 2 families (PP1_strong). Functional assays have demonstrated that this missense variant disturbs the APOB protein conformation preventing it from binding LDL, disturbing its normal function as inhibitor of the LDL receptor (PMID: 11115503) (PS3). Computational predictions (REVEL = 0.735) support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (PP3). The variant has been reported in dbSNP (rs5742904) and in the HGMD database: CM890006. It has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic by other diagnostic laboratories (ClinVar Variation ID: 17890).

New York Genome Center	RCV001837437	SCV003925306	pathogenic	Hypercholesterolemia, autosomal dominant, type B; Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia 1	2022-09-16	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The c.10580G>A variant has previously been reported in multiple individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia [PMID: 24404629] and has been shown to segregate with hypercholesterolemia in multiple families [PMID: 2563166, 8254047, 21868016]. This variant is reported as one of the two most common variants associated with familial hypercholesterolemia, particularly in individuals of European ancestry [PMID: 24404629]. Multiple independent laboratories have deposited this variant as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 17890). The c.10580G>A variant is observed in 328 alleles (0.0556% minor allele frequency with 5homozygotes) in population databases (gnomAD v2.1.1 and v3.1.2, TOPMed Freeze 8). This frequency is low enough to be consistent with the frequency of familial hypercholesterolemia in the general population and pathogenic variants in APOB can have reduced penetrance and a less severe phenotype than disease-causingLDLR or PCSK9 variants [PMID: 24404629]. The c.10580G>A variant is located in exon 26 of this 29-exon gene and is predicted to replace an evolutionarilyconserved arginine amino acid with glutamine at position 3527 in the encoded protein. In silico predictions are in favor of damaging effect for p.(Arg3527Gln) variant [(CADD v1.6 = 28, REVEL = 0.735)]. Functional studies have demonstrated that this variant affects APOB protein conformation and impairs its binding to the LDLR protein [PMID: 8254047, 9486979, 10388479, 11115503, 15797858, 26643808]. A different amino acid change at this codon p.(Arg3527Gln) has been reported in ClinVar [ClinVar ID: 40223] as Pathogenic. Moreover, a different missense variant p.(Arg3527Leu) has been reported in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia [PMID:16250003, 33269076]. Based on available evidence this c.10580G>A p.(Arg3527Gln) variant identified in APOB is classified as Pathogenic.

Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, Rady Children's Hospital San Diego	RCV003335048	SCV004046030	pathogenic	APOB-Related Disorders		criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This variant is also known in the literature as p.Arg3500Gln (PMID: 27919345). This variant has been previously reported as heterozygous change in patients with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 9105560, 21059979, 18325181, 18222178, 10388479, 23375686, 2563166, 21868016). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change disturbs the APOB protein conformation, therefore reducing its ability to act as inhibitor of the LDL receptor (PMID: 11115503, 15797858). It is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.03% (83/282162), and one homozygous individual is also reported. The c.10580G>A (p.Arg3527Gln) variant affects a highly conserved amino acid and is predicted by multiple in silico tools to have a deleterious effect on protein function. Based on the available evidence, the c.10580G>A (p.Arg3527Gln) variant is classified as Pathogenic.
PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences	RCV003398547	SCV004105374	pathogenic	APOB-related condition	2024-03-01	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The APOB c.10580G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg3527Gln. This variant was identified and characterized in the 1980s (aka p.Arg3500Gln, Innerarity et al. 1987. PubMed ID: 3477815; Soria et al. 1989. PubMed ID: 2563166). It is now recognized as the most common pathogenic variant in APOB for autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia (reviewed by Varret et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 18028451). The p.Arg3527Gln substitution has been shown to reduce the binding affinity of LDL receptors to 30% of normal values (Innerarity et al. 1987. PubMed ID: 3477815). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic.

This variant is frequently reported in the literature as p.Arg3500Gln. Per the test report, this variant has been reported to be responsible for 2-6% of Western European FH cases and has been reported as an Amish founder mutation (Heath KE et al. Atherosclerosis. 1999;143(1):41-54; Lombardi et al. Clin Genet. 2000;57(2):116-24; Chmara M et al. J Appl Genet. 2010;51(1):95-106; Shen H et al. Arch Intern Med. 2010;170(20):1850-5). 1 in 500 to 1 in 700 Caucasian individuals have this specific variant per a 1992 report by Rauh and colleagues. Tybjaerg-Hansen et al. (1998) found that the R3500Q mutation in the APOB gene is present in approximately 1 in 1,000 persons in Denmark and causes severe hypercholesterolemia and increases the risk of ischemic heart disease. Bednarska-Makaruk et al. (2001) found the arg3500-to-gln mutation in 2.5% (13/525) of unrelated patients with hypercholesterolemia in Poland. All the patients belonged to the type IIA hyperlipoproteinemia group. In 65 patients with the clinical characteristics of familial hypercholesterolemia, the frequency of the arg3500-to-gln mutation was 10.8% (7/65). The same haplotype at the APOB locus in the carriers of this mutation in Poland as in other populations from western Europe suggested its common origin. Horvath et al. (2001) studied 130 unrelated individuals with hypercholesterolemia in Bulgaria. Four of these individuals were found to be carriers of this mutation. Horvath et al. (2001) concluded that this mutation accounts for 0.99 to 8.17% (95% CI) of cases of hypercholesterolemia in Bulgaria and therefore represents the most common single mutation associated with this condition in Bulgaria. Segregation data is strong: Soria et al. (1989) demonstrated that this variant was found in 6 other, unrelated subjects and in 8 affected relatives in 2 of these families. A partial haplotype of this mutant apoB100 allele was constructed by sequence analysis and restriction enzyme digestion at positions where variations in the apoB100 are known to occur. This haplotype was found to be the same in 3 probands and 4 affected members of 1 family and lacks a polymorphic XbaI site whose presence has been correlated with high cholesterol levels. Tybjaerg-Hansen and Humphries (1992) gave a review suggesting that the risk of premature coronary artery disease in the carriers of the mutation is increased to levels as high as those seen in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia; at age 50, about 40% of males and 20% of females heterozygous for the mutation have developed coronary artery disease. Boren et al. (2001) concluded that normal receptor binding of LDL involves an interaction between arginine-3500 and tryptophan-4369 in the carboxyl tail of apoB100. Trp4369 to tyr (W4369Y) LDL and arg3500 to gln (R3500Q) LDL isolated from transgenic mice had identically defective LDL binding. Marz et al 1993 found that he arg3500-to-gln substitution profoundly alters the conformation of the apoB receptor binding domain when apolipoprotein B resides on particles at the lower and upper limits of the LDL density range. Marz et al in 1992 found that higher levels of apoE may be a compensatory mechanism whereby an increase in apoE leads to a decrease in LDL. The arginine at codon 3527 is completely conserved across species. Two alterations at the same codon, p.R3527L and p.R3527W (reported as p.R3500L and p.R3500W), have also been associated with FH (Gaffney D et al. Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol. 1995;15:1025-9; Fouchier SW et al. Hum. Mutat. 2005;26:550-6). The variant was reported online in 63 of 122,754 individuals in the Genome Aggregation Consortium Dataset (gnomAD; http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/), which currently includes variant calls on >140,000 unrelated individuals of African, Asian, European, Ashkenazi, Latino descent. Specifically, the variant was observed in 58 of 55,525 individuals of European descent (MAF=0.05%), 1 of 11,148 individuals of Finnish descent, 1 of 16,779 individuals of Latino descent and 1 of 2,738 individuals of other descent. The phenotype of those individuals is not publicly available. The dataset is comprised of multiple cohorts, some of which were recruited from the general population, others were enriched for common cardiovascular disease. There is a cohort of patients with coronary artery disease in gnomAD. Note that other variants with strong evidence for pathogenicity have been seen at similar frequencies in datasets like this so this does not necessarily rule out pathogenicity (Pan et al 2012).

Following imputation in a set of 166K Icelanders (8 imputed heterozygotes) we observed an association with LDL cholesterol using measurements from 128289 individuals (Effect (SD)= 1.89, P= 1.93e-03) and Non-HDL cholesterol using measurements from 136901 individuals (Effect (SD)= 1.85, P= 2.08e-03). This variant has been reported in ClinVar previously as likely pathogenic, pathogenic and as a variant of uncertain significance. Based on ACMG criteria (PS4, PM5, PP5) this variant classifies as likely pathogenic.
