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]

It has also been reported in 1 individual with early onset myocardial infarction (Khera 2019 PMID: 30586733). This variant has been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 251673) and has been identified in 0.0004% (1/282736) of pan-ethnic chromosomes by gnomAD (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis support an impact to the protein. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant FH.

Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpFeb 27, 2024Variant summary: LDLR c.1118G>A (p.Gly373Asp), also referred to as p.Gly352Asp, results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the EGF-like domain (IPR000742) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.1e-06 in 1613724 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1118G>A has been reported in the literature in at least two homozygous individuals and multiple heterozygous individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (e.g. Bertolini_1999, Bertolini_2000, Fouchier_2001, Mozas_2004, Di Taranto_2021). 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. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 9974426, 10978268, 34297352, 11810272, 15241806). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251673). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpNov 08, 2023This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 373 of the LDLR protein (p.Gly373Asp). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 9974426, 11810272, 11933210, 15241806, 21382890, 23375686, 25461735). This variant is also known as p.Gly352Asp. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251673). 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.Gly373 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with LDLR-related conditions (PMID: 16159606, 20145306), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsNov 17, 2021The p.G373D pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1118G>A), located in coding exon 8 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1118. The glycine at codon 373 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been detected in both the homozygous and heterozygous states in multiple individuals meeting diagnostic criteria for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Bertolini S et al. Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol., 1999 Feb;19:408-18; Mozas P et al. Hum. Mutat., 2004 Aug;24:187; Noto D et al. Pediatr. Res., 2010 Feb;67:200-4; Dušková L et al. Atherosclerosis, 2011 May;216:139-45; Jannes CE et al. Atherosclerosis, 2015 Jan;238:101-7; Scicali R et al. Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis, 2018 01;28:35-43; Corral P et al. Atherosclerosis, 2018 10;277:256-261; Khera AV et al. Circulation, 2019 Mar;139:1593-1602; Di Taranto MD et al. Clin Genet, 2021 11;100:529-541). In addition, this alteration is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD).This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
