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]

Hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1 Pathogenic:5

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Neuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM	Jul 22, 2023	The missense c.268G>T p.Asp90Tyr variant in the LDLR gene has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia Rubinsztein, D C et al., 1993. Other variants that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic Han, Soo Min et al., 2015. The variant is absent in gnomAD Exomes. It is submitted to ClinVar as Likely Pathogenic reviewed by expert panel. The amino acid Aspartic acid at position 90 is changed to a Tyrosine changing protein sequence and it might alter its composition and physico-chemical properties. Multiple lines of computational evidence Polyphen - Damaging, SIFT – Damaging and MutationTaster - Disease causing predict a damaging effect on protein structure and function for this variant. The amino acid Aspartic acid in LDLR is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health	Jun 08, 2023	This missense variant (also known as p.Asp69Tyr in the mature protein) replaces aspartic acid with tyrosine at codon 90 in the second LDLR type A of the ligand binding domain of the LDLR protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have a 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 been reported in an individual affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 34456200). This variant has also been reported in compound heterozygous state in individuals affected with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 8347689). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Different variants occurring at the same codon (p.Asp90Asn, p.Asp90Gly, p.Asp90Glu, p.Asp90Ala), are well documented pathogenic mutations (ClinVar variation IDs: 215505, 226313, 251107, 440555), indicating that aspartic acid at this position is important for LDLR protein function. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, reviewed by expert panel	curation	ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Variant Curation Expert Panel	Jun 07, 2021	The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.268G>T (p.Asp90Tyr) variant is classified as Likely pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes (PM5_Strong, PM2, PP3 and PP4) as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.03.17.21252755). The supporting evidence is as follows: PM5_Strong - Four more missense variants described in same codon: --- 3 variants classified as Pathogenic, so PM5_Strong is Met. PM2 - No population data was found for this variant in gnomAD (gnomAD v2.1.1). PM5 - Four more missense variants described in same codon, 3 variants classified as Pathogenic, so PM5 is Met. PP3 - REVEL = 0.958. It is above 0.75, so PP3 is Met. PP4 - Variant meets PM2. Identified in 1 index case who fulfills Simon-Broome criteria from Center of molecular biology and gene therapy. -

Mar 07, 2023

Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251106). This variant is also known as FH Durban-1 and asp69tyr. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 8347689). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 90 of the LDLR protein (p.Asp90Tyr). This variant disrupts the p.Asp90 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12837857, 16343504, 21376320, 25962062). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
