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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 16, 2024Variant summary: LDLR c.520G>A (p.Glu174Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change in 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 2e-05 in 251312 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.520G>A has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia without strong evidence of causality. This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Familial Hypercholesterolemia. Co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant was reported in this individual (APOB c.10580G>A, p.Arg3527Gln), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27784735). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1746103). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 22, 2022The p.E174K variant (also known as c.520G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 520. The glutamic acid at codon 174 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant co-occurred with a mutation in the APOB gene in an individual from a homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia cohort; however, details were limited (Sánchez-Hernández RM et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2016 Dec;9:504-510). This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
