Genes affected

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]

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: LDLR c.148G>T (p.Ala50Ser; also known as p.Ala29Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the first class A repeat domain (IPR002172) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00054 in 262944 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00097 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. However, in certain European regions the variant was found with a higher allele frequency, e.g. in the Swedish (0.0018), which is higher than estimated maximum expected for a pathogenic variant in LDLR causing Familial Hypercholesterolemia (0.0013), suggesting that the variant might be benign. The variant, c.148G>T, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with hypercholesterolemia, however it was also found in controls and individuals with low LDL cholesterol (Ahmad_2012, Beaudoin_2012, Brusgaard_2006, Chmarra_2010, Do_2015, Ebhardt_1999, Fouchier_2001, Jensen_1994, Junyent_2010, Koeijvoets_2005, Lange_2014, Leren_2004, Tejedor_2010, Geller_2018, Sustar_2022). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Familial Hypercholesterolemia. In a family the variant was found to not segregate with disease (Jensen_1994). In addition, co-occurrences with other pathogenic variants have been reported (e.g. LDLR c.12G>A (p.Trp4X); Tejedor_2010 and LDLR c.1033C>T (p.Gln345X) in an internal LCA sample), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 23064986, 22923420, 16542394, 20145306, 25487149, 24055113, 10090484, 11810272, 30333156, 7820934, 19717150, 15823280, 24507775, 15199436, 10735632, 24956927, 28145427, 35913489, 20428891). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 68099). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
