Hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1 Pathogenic:3Uncertain:3
This variant is located in the LDLR protein in the promoter region (between the TATA and SP1 binding motifs) of the LDLR gene. Experimental studies in vitro of LDLR gene expression have shown a moderate decrease in LDLR gene expression (PMID: 25248394, 31395865). However, clinical relevance of this observation is not clear. This variant has been reported in at least two individual affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PPMID: 22883975, 23669246) and in at least three individuals suspected to be affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20236128, 31345425, 31980526). The genome region of this variant is not well covered in population databases and thus the frequency of this variant in the general population is unknown. The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

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. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individuals with clinical features of familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20236128, 24075752, 31345425; internal data). Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this LDLR variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 363,995 individuals referred to our laboratory for LDLR testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 226302). Studies have shown that this variant alters LDLR gene expression (PMID: 25248394). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
LDLR-related disorder Pathogenic:1
The LDLR c.-121T>C variant is located in the 5' untranslated region. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with Hypercholesterolemia (Taylor et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20236128; Hooper et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22883975; Faiz et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 24075752; Trinder et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31345425. Table S3). Functional study showed that this variant decreases LDLR gene expression (Khamis et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25248394). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. In ClinVar, this variant has conflicting interpretations of likely pathogenic and uncertain significance (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/). This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
