In PMID 22669020, two brothers of 21 and 18 years old are homozygous for the variant with untreated LDL-C at 12.8 mmol/l and 10.1 mmol/l respectively, which are just below 13 mmol/l threshold for HoFH phenotype. Additionally, one of 2 brothers (21 yrs with LDL-C 12.8 mmol/l) also had Type 1 diabetes. LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA10585162/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]

Variant summary: LDLR c.859G>T (p.Gly287Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. This variant is also known as p.G266C. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant was absent in 251434 control chromosomes. c.859G>T has been observed in multiple homozygous and heterozygous individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (example: Messal_2003, El Aziz_2012, Benedek_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 33955087, 12730724, 22669020). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251489). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 287 of the LDLR protein (p.Gly287Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 12730724, 17196209, 22669020, 33955087; Invitae). This variant is also known as p.G266C. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251489). 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 with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Gly287 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with LDLR-related conditions (PMID: 23669246), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
