Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV001838479 SCV001493729 uncertain significance Hypercholesterolemia, autosomal dominant, type B; Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia 1 2020-07-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces lysine with glutamic acid at codon 539 of the APOB protein (p.Lys539Glu). The lysine residue is weakly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between lysine and glutamic acid. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of familial hypercholesterolemia (Invitae). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The glutamic acid amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, suggesting that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. These predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. 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.
