Description
The p.R333H variant (also known as c.998G>A), located in coding exon 6 of the LPL gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 998. The arginine at codon 333 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported as compound heterozygous with an additional pathogenic alteration in LPL in an individual with familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) (Martín-Campos JM et al. Clin Chim Acta, 2014 Feb;429:61-8). This alteration has also been reported in individuals with severe hypertriglyceridemia with no additional pathogenic alteration in LPL identified (Rabacchi C et al. Atherosclerosis, 2015 Jul;241:79-86; Retterstøl K et al. Lipids Health Dis, 2017 Jun;16:115). Additionally, this alteration may impact LPL catalytic activity (Martín-Campos JM et al. Clin Chim Acta, 2014 Feb;429:61-8). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
