Familial hypercholesterolemia Uncertain:2
This missense variant (also known as p.Cys47Gly in the mature protein) replaces cysteine with glycine at codon 68 of the LDLR protein. This variant alters a conserved cysteine residue that is critical for proper protein folding and function (PMID: 2088165, 6091915, 15952897). Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with LDLR-related disorders in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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 sequence change replaces cysteine with glycine at codon 68 of the LDLR protein (p.Cys68Gly). The cysteine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between cysteine and glycine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant affects a cysteine residue located within an LDLRA or epidermal-growth-factor (EGF)-like domains of the LDLR protein. Cysteine residues in these domains have been shown to be involved in the formation of disulfide bridges, which are critical for protein structure and stability (PMID: 7548065, 7603991, 7979249). In addition, missense substitutions within the LDLRA and EGF-like domains affecting cysteine residues are overrepresented among patients with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 18325082). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with LDLR-related conditions. -
