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]

The c.632A>T variant in the LDLR gene results in an amino acid change from a histidine to a leucine at codon 211 of encoded protein (p.His211Leu). Also known as p.His190Leu, this variant has been reported in a patient with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 17347910). It is not present in the general population (gnomAD). Other missense variants affecting the same codon (p.His211Asp, p.His211Tyr) have been observed in unrelated individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 17765246, 23064986), suggesting the histidine residue is important for LDLR protein function. Multiple lines of in silico algorithms predict this p.His211Leu variant to be deleterious. Therefore, the c.632A>T (p.His211Leu) variant in the LDLR gene is classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces histidine with leucine at codon 211 of the LDLR protein. This variant is also known as p.His190Leu in the mature protein. This variant alters a conserved histidine residue in the LDLR type A repeat 4 of the LDLR protein (aa 146-186), where pathogenic missense variants are found enriched (ClinVar-LDLR). Computational prediction tools indicate that this variant has a deleterious impact on protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in two individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 17347910; ClinVar SCV001539711.3) and in one individual affected with dyslipidemia (PMID: 34363016). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Different variants affecting the same codon, p.His211Tyr and p.His211Asp, are considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 251335, 251334), suggesting that histidine at this position is important for LDLR protein function. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: The LDLR c.632A>T (p.His211Leu) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide, resulting in a missense change in one of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor class A repeats (InterPro). 3/4 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to non-functioning tool). This variant is absent from the large control database ExAC (0/120210 control chromosomes). The variant has been reported in one hypercholesterolemia patient without strong evidence for pathogenicity (Widhalm_JIMD_2007). Variants affecting the same codon, p.H211Y and p.H211D (also known as p.H190Y and p.H190D, respectively) have been reported in hypercholesterolemia patients, suggesting this residue is a mutation hotspot. LDLR crystal structure study suggested functional importance of codon H211(Rudenko_2002). Taken together, due to lack of clinical and functional data, this variant is currently classified as a VUS until more evidence becomes available. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 211 of the LDLR protein (p.His211Leu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 17347910; internal data). Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this LDLR variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 363,995 individuals referred to our laboratory for LDLR testing. This variant is also known as p.His190Leu. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251337). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.His211 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10570905, 21511053; internal data). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.H211L variant (also known as c.632A>T), located in coding exon 4 of the LDLR gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 632. The histidine at codon 211 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in subjects with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Widhalm K et al. J Inherit Metab Dis, 2007 Apr;30:239-47; Ambry internal data). Another alteration at the same codon, p.H211Y (c.631C>T), has also been described in association with FH (Hopkins PN et al. J. Hum. Genet., 1999;44:364-7). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is well 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. -
