Description

The APOE p.Arg176Cys variant, also known as the APOE ε2 allele, was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs7412), ClinVar (reported by EGL Genetics in relation to drug metabolism), Clinvitae, MutDB and LOVD 3.0. The variant was identified in control databases in 10996 of 168078 chromosomes (465 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.065422 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 1632 of 15264 chromosomes (freq: 0.1069), Ashkenazi Jewish in 664 of 8410 chromosomes (freq: 0.07895), European (non-Finnish) in 5202 of 67810 chromosomes (freq: 0.07671), East Asian in 947 of 12608 chromosomes (freq: 0.07511), Other in 328 of 5174 chromosomes (freq: 0.06339), European (Finnish) in 472 of 10686 chromosomes (freq: 0.04417), South Asian in 947 of 22604 chromosomes (freq: 0.0419), and Latino in 804 of 25522 chromosomes (freq: 0.0315). Homozygous individuals with the APOE ε2 genotype are at a higher risk of developing type III hyperlipoproteinemia and mouse models with the APOE ε2 genotype develop a clear type III hyperlipoproteinemia phenotype (Breslow_1982_PMID: 7175379; Sullivan_1998_PMID: 9649566). However, this variant does not show full penetrance for type III hyperlipoproteinemia and other variants in conjunction with the APOE ε2 genotype have been suggested to contribute to the phenotype (Sakuma_2014_PMID: 24953047). Another study found that carriers of the APOE ε2 allele had lower baseline LDL cholesterol levels as well as a greater reduction of LDL-C from atorvastatin and pravastatin treatment compared to APOE ε4 carriers, implicating this variant as a pharmacogenetic variant (Meg_2009_PMID: 19667110). The p.Arg176 residue is conserved across mammals and other organisms, and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, and BLOSUM) suggest that the variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance.
