Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health | Jun 09, 2024 | This missense variant replaces cysteine with tryptophan at codon 352 in the EGF-like repeat A of the LDLR protein. This variant is also known as p.Cys331Trp in the mature protein, and as FH Avellino-1 in the literature. This variant alters a conserved cysteine residue that is critical for proper protein folding and function (PMID: 2088165, 6091915, 15952897). Computational prediction tools indicate that this variant has a deleterious impact on protein structure and function. Functional studies in cultured fibroblasts from both heterozygous and homozygous individuals have shown that this variant causes a significant reduction in LDLR activity as well as LDL binding and internalization (PMID: 9974426, 11585102). This variant has been reported in more than 10 individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 10735632, 10978268, 11585102, 11810272, 11851376, 23375686, 27824480, 30710474, 31345425, 32977124, 34456200). This variant has also been observed in homozygous state in one individual affected with severe homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 9974426, 26723464, 36422519). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Different variants affecting the same codon: p.Cys352Tyr, p.Cys352Phe, and p.Cys352Ser, are considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 36450, 251619, 251617), suggesting that cysteine at this position is important for LDLR protein function. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. - |

Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Sep 23, 2019 | The p.C352W pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1056C>G), located in coding exon 7 of the LDLR gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 1056. The cysteine at codon 352 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties, and is located in an EGF-like domain. Pathogenic LDLR mutations that result in the substitution or generation of cysteine residues within the cysteine-rich LDLR class A repeats and EGF-like domains are common in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Villéger L. Hum Mutat. 2002;20(2):81-7). This particular cysteine alteration (also referred to as C331W and FH Avellino-1) has been reported in the homozygous state in a pediatric patient reported to have a clinical diagnosis of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and significantly reduced LDL-receptor activity; however, experimental data were not shown (Bertolini S et al. Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol., 1999;19:408-18). This variant has been detected in additional individuals from FH cohorts (Lombardi MP et al. Clin. Genet., 2000;57:116-24; Van Gaal LF et al. Mol. Cell. Probes, 2001;15:329-36; Bertolini S et al. Atherosclerosis, 2013;227:342-8; Gabová D et al. Physiol Res, 2017;66:75-84). Internal structural analysis indicates this alteration eliminates a disulfide bond critical for the structural integrity of the EGF-like 1 domain (Ambry internal data). In addition, other variants affecting this codon (e.g., p.C352Y and p.C352S) have also been reported in association with FH (Magaña Torres MT et al. J Clin Lipidol. 2014;8:525-7; Medeiros AM et al. Genet. Med. 2016;18:316-24). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. - |
Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | Jul 26, 2017 | Variant summary: The LDLR c.1056C>G (p.Cys352Trp) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. 5/5 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. The variant of interest has not been found in a large, broad control population, ExAC in 120928 control chromosomes. This variant was reported in multiple patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), including a homozygous patient whose phenotype was more severe than the heterozygous patients (Bertolini_Atherosclerosis_2013, Fouchier_HG_2001), including . A functional study suggested that the variant causes a defective LDL receptor, though the data was not provided for independent assessment (Bertolini_Atherosclerosis_2013). In addition, one clinical diagnostic laboratory classified this variant as likely pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. - |
