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]

Functional studies have demonstrated a deleterious effect of the p.Glu208Lys variant on LDL binding (PMID: 1301956, 18677035). This variant is not present in the general population (gnomAD). Multiple algorithms predicted this change to be deleterious. Therefore, the c.622G>A (p.Glu208Lys) variant in the LDLR gene is classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health	Apr 28, 2023	This missense variant is located in the fifth LDLR type A repeat in the ligand binding domain of the LDLR protein. This variant is also known as p.Glu187Lys in the mature protein and as FH Jerusalem in the literature. 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). A functional study using cells from a heterozygous individual have demonstrated a significantly reduced LDLR activity (PMID: 1301956). This variant has been reported in multiple unrelated individuals diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 1301956, 8882879, 9767373, 11810272, 22390909, 32759540, 32770674, 33418990, 34037665, 34363016). This variant has also been observed in homozygous state in individuals affected with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 35249492). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Apr 18, 2023	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects LDLR function (PMID: 18677035). 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: 251328). This variant is also known as p.Glu187Lys. This missense change has been observed in individuals with hypercholesterolaemia (PMID: 1301956, 22390909). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 208 of the LDLR protein (p.Glu208Lys). -

The p.Glu208Lys variant in LDLR (also described as p.Glu187Lys and FH Jerusalem in the literature) has been reported in >30 individuals with hypercholesterolemia, segregated with disease in 9 affected relatives from 3 families (Kotze 1989, Hobbs 1992, Ekstrom 1998, Fouchier 2001, Fouchier 2015), and was absent from large population studies. This variant has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 251328). Functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Glu208Lys variant reduces protein activity (Hobbs 1992). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for hypercholesterolemia in an autosomal dominant manner based upon segregation studies, absence from controls, and functional evidence.

The LDLR c.622G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu208Lys. This variant was reported in multiple individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (reported as E187K in Table 2, Hobbs et al 1992. PubMed ID: 1301956; Table 1, Huijgen et al 2012.

PubMed ID: 33740630; e-Table 1, Sturm AC et al 2021. PubMed ID: 34037665). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The p.E208K variant (also known as c.622G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 622. The glutamic acid at codon 208 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties, and is located in the ligand-binding domain. This alteration, also known as E187K, has been reported in multiple individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, including an affected father-son pair; compound heterozygote cases with this alteration were also reported (Hobbs HH et al. Hum. Mutat., 1992;1:445-66; Reshef A et al. Hum. Genet., 1996 Nov;98:581-6; Fouchier SW et al. Hum. Genet., 2001 Dec;109:602-15; Huijgen R et al. Eur. Heart J., 2012 Sep;33:2325-30). One in vitro study demonstrated a ten-fold reduction in beta-VLDL binding with this alteration (Zhao Z et al. J. Biol. Chem., 2008 Sep;283:26528-37). 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. -
