Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):​c.1118G>C​(p.Gly373Ala) variant causes a missense 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 Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G373C) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 10 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 8 uncertain in NM_000527.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr19-11111570-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 251672.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.992
• PP5: Variant 19-11111571-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11111571-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 574051.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This missense variant (also known as p.Gly352Ala in the mature protein) replaces glycine with alanine at codon 373 of the LDLR protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different missense variant at the same codon, p.Gly373Asp, is known to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 251673), indicating that glycine at this position is important for LDLR protein function. However, due to the lack of variant-specific evidence, the role of this variant in disease cannot be determined conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. The p.Gly373 (also known as p.Gly352 in the literature) amino acid residue in LDLR has been determined to be clinically significant (PMID: 9974426, 25461735, 11933210, 21382890, 16159606). This suggests that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be causative of disease. 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. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 574051). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine with alanine at codon 373 of the LDLR protein (p.Gly373Ala). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glycine and alanine. -
