Genes affected
LDLR-AS1 (HGNC:54407): (LDLR antisense RNA 1) This gene represents a regulatory lncRNA that overlaps the 5' UTR and coding sequence of the LDLR (low density lipoprotein receptor) gene. This lncRNA overlaps LDLR in the antisense orientation, and has been shown to downregulate production of the low density lipoprotein receptor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2019]
LDLR (HGNC:6547): (low density lipoprotein receptor) The low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene family consists of cell surface proteins involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis of specific ligands. The encoded protein is normally bound at the cell membrane, where it binds low density lipoprotein/cholesterol and is taken into the cell. Lysosomes release the cholesterol, which is made available for repression of microsomal enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase, the rate-limiting step in cholesterol synthesis. At the same time, a reciprocal stimulation of cholesterol ester synthesis takes place. Mutations in this gene cause the autosomal dominant disorder, familial hypercholesterolemia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

The c.-136C>T pathogenic mutation is located in the 5' untranslated region (5’ UTR) of the LDLR gene. This variant results from a C to T substitution 136 nucleotides upstream from the first translated codon. This variant (also referred to as c.-43C>T) has been detected in several individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and has been reported to segregate with hypercholesterolemia in families (Koivisto UM et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 1994 Oct;91(22):10526-30; Jensen LG et al. Hum Mutat, 1996;7:82-4; Kim JH et al. Mol Cells, 2004 Aug;18(1):63-70; Fouchier SW et al. Hum Mutat, 2005 Dec;26:550-6; Leren TP et al. Atherosclerosis, 2021 04;322:61-66). Assays performed on cells from an individual with this mutation demonstrated reduced LDL receptor mRNA concentration and reduced LDL binding, internalization, and degradation compared to control cells (Jensen LG et al. Hum Mutat, 1996;7:82-4; Koivisto UM et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 1994 Oct;91(22):10526-30). Functional studies indicate that this variant results in impaired promotor activity and reduced transcription levels compared to wild type (Koivisto UM et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 1994 Oct;91(22):10526-30; Kircher M et al. Nat Commun, 2019 08;10:3583). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that this variant alters LDLR gene expression (PMID: 7937987). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 250955). This variant is also known as C-to-T substitution at position -43. This variant has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 7937987, 8664911, 15199436, 15359125, 16250003). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant occurs in a non-coding region of the LDLR gene. It does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the LDLR protein.
