Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.922G>T(p.Glu308Ter) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a 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 Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. E308E) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 19-11107496-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11107496-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 631318.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The p.Glu308X variant in LDLR has not been reported in individual with familial hypercholesterolemia or large population studies. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 308, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the LDLR gene is an established disease mechanism in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for familial hypercholesterolemia in an autosomal dominant manner based upon the predicted impact to the protein and absence from controls. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1; PM2. -

Pathogenic variant based on current evidence: This variant changes one nucleotide in exon 8 of the LDLR mRNA (c.922G>T). This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu308*) and is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. Truncating variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525). This variant is rare in the general population and has been identified in 0/277264 chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia in the literature. Based on available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
