Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 22 ACMG points: 22P and 0B. PS1 PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):​c.684G>C​(p.Glu228Asp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-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 nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Pathogenic in Lovd. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E228K) 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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 22 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_000527.5 (LDLR) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in Lovd
• PM1: In a helix (size 2) in uniprot entity LDLR_HUMAN there are 16 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) 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 chrnull-null-null-null is described in UniProt as null.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.989
• PP5: Variant 19-11105590-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11105590-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 523724.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-11105590-G-C is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

The mutation at the protein level at position 228 leads to the amino acid substitution glutamic acid against aspartic acid (p.Glu228Asp, E228D). This change has not been described in the literature so far. However, prediction programs classify this mutation as pathogenic (Mutationtaster, SpliceSiteFinder). In addition, the mutation is located in a conserved region (Ser-Asp-Glu), which is essential for receptor function and in which many other pathogenic mutations have already been described.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant disrupts the p.Glu228 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 2318961, 21475731, 21722902, 22390909, 23375686). 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. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects LDLR function (PMID: 31106925). This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 228 of the LDLR protein (p.Glu228Asp). 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: 28502510, 28964736, 31106925; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 523724). 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. -
