Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points: 19P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):​c.464G>T​(p.Cys155Phe) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. C155S) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 20 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 2 benign, 10 uncertain in NM_000527.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr19-11105369-T-A is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 438695.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 678 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 92 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.12407 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.59338 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1, homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.995
• PP5: Variant 19-11105370-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11105370-G-T is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 251241.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The p.C155F variant (also known as c.464G>T), located in coding exon 4 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 464. The cysteine at codon 155, located at LDLR class A repeat 4, is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. Pathogenic LDLR mutations that result in the substitution or generation of cysteine residues within the cysteine-rich LDLR class A repeats and EGF-like domains are common in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Villéger L. Hum Mutat. 2002;20(2):81-7). This variant was reported in a pediatric FH cohort with limited clinical details provided (van der Graaf A et al. Circulation, 2011 Mar;123:1167-73). Internal structural analysis indicates this alteration eliminates a disulfide bond critical for the structural integrity of LDLR class A repeat 4 (Ambry internal data). Alternate amino acid substitutions at this position, including p.C155G (legacy p.C134G) and p.C155R, have been reported in individuals with FH (Hobbs HH et al. Hum. Mutat., 1992;1:445-66; Lombardi MP et al. Clin. Genet., 2000 Feb;57:116-24; Yu W et al. Atherosclerosis, 2002 Dec;165:335-42). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
