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 19-11110744-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11110744-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 226341.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-11110744-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Sep 16, 2020	Variant summary: LDLR c.1033C>T (p.Gln345X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 251072 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1033C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (Day_1997, Bourbon_2008, Hooper_2012). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jul 17, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln345*) in the LDLR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525, 28645073). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 9259195). This variant is also known as Q324X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 226341). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Q345* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1033C>T), located in coding exon 7 of the LDLR gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1033. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 7. This alteration, which is also known as p.Q324*, has been reported in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Day IN et al. Hum Mutat, 1997;10:116-27; Bourbon M et al. Atherosclerosis, 2008 Feb;196:633-42; Taylor A et al. Clin Genet, 2010 Jun;77:572-80; Hooper AJ et al. Atherosclerosis, 2012 Oct;224:430-4; Bertolini S et al. Atherosclerosis, 2013 Apr;227:342-8). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
