Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000588730 SCV000700004 benign not provided 2017-05-22 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: The PCSK9 c.835C>A (p.Pro279Thr) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 4/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). This variant was found in 41/94810 control chromosomes, predominantly observed in the African subpopulation at a frequency of 0.004103 (31/7556). This frequency is about 205 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic PCSK9 variant (0.00002), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of African origin. The variant has been reported in the literature as a SNP and has been observed at equal frequencies both in patients with low LDL-C and high LDL-C. Therefore, its role in the pathophysiology of Familial Hypercholesterolemia and early onset CAD is suspect. One clinical diagnostic laboratory classified this variant as uncertain significance. Taken together, due to the relatively high frequency of the variant in the control population, this variant has been classified as benign.

Ambry Genetics RCV002436242 SCV002681508 likely benign Cardiovascular phenotype 2020-03-19 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
