Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 21 ACMG points: 21P and 0B. PS3PS4PP1_ModeratePM2PVS1PP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.682G>T (p.Glu228Ter) variant is classified as pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence code PVS1, PS3, PS4, PM2, PP1_Moderate and PP4 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gim.2021.09.012). The supporting evidence is as follows: PM2 - PopMax MAF = 0.00006530 (0.006%) in African/African American exomes (gnomAD v2.1.1). PVS1 - Variant leads to stop at codon 228, amino-terminal of amino acid 830. PS3 - Two studies contribute to PS3 attribution. One (PMID:1301956) report a level 2 assay performed on homozygous patient's fibroblasts with radiolabeled LDL consistent with damaging effect of the variant (< 2% LDLR activity). The second reports a level 1 assay (PMID:17087781) performed on Heterologous cells (COS7). FACS, CLSM and WB results in <5% LDLR activity. LDLR precursor protein does not mature. PS4 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 22 index cases who fulfil SB criteria for FH (n=2 CGMC, UFGOD, APHP.Sorbonne Université, Hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière) or DLCN criteria for FH (n=4 Color Health, Inc.; n=14 CGMC, UFGOD, APHP.Sorbonne Université, Hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière; n=2 Cardiovascular Genetics Laboratory (PathWest Laboratory Medicine WA)) PP1_Moderate - Variant segregate with FH in 3 informatives meiosis (LDL-C > 75th percentile) and not segregate with variant in 1 relative with LDL-C <25th percentile from at least 1 family from Cardiovascular Genetics Laboratory (PathWest Laboratory Medicine WA). PP4 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 22 index cases who fulfil SB criteria for FH (n=2 CGMC, UFGOD, APHP.Sorbonne Université, Hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière) or DLCN criteria for FH (n=4 Color Health, Inc.; n=14 CGMC, UFGOD, APHP.Sorbonne Université, Hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière; n=2 Cardiovascular Genetics Laboratory (PathWest Laboratory Medicine WA)) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA044327/MONDO:0007750/013

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]
