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]

LDLR links:

MIR6886 (HGNC:50121): (microRNA 6886) microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the Drosha ribonuclease III enzyme to produce an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cleaved by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most commonly results in translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. The RefSeq represents the predicted microRNA stem-loop. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	curation	Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard	Jan 22, 2020	The p.Gln448Ter variant in LDLR has been reported in 21 individuals (including 20 Spanish and 1 Mexican individual) with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 21722902, 15241806, 27784735), and has been identified in 0.005644% (2/35434) of Latino chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs879254871). Please note that for diseases with clinical variability, or reduced penetrance, pathogenic variants may be present at a low frequency in the general population. This variant has also been reported pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID: 251798). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 448, 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 Familial Hypercholesterolemia. The phenotype of 3 individuals homozygous for this variant is highly specific for Familial Hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 15241806, 27784735). Individuals who are homozygous for pathogenic variants are known to have a more severe phenotype than heterozygous individuals. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia in an autosomal dominant manner based on the predicted impact of the variant and multiple occurrences in individuals with Familial Hypercholesterolemia.

Familial hypercholesterolemia

Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Sep 06, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln448*) 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 present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.006%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 15241806, 28993407, 30586733). This variant is also known as p.Q427X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251798). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Oct 29, 2019	Variant summary: LDLR c.1342C>T (p.Gln448X) 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. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251242 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1342C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Autosomal Dominant Hypercholesterolemia as well as Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (e.g. Ahmad_2012, Alonso_2016, Martin-Campos_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Six ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The p.Q448* variant (also known as c.1342C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the LDLR gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1342. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This alteration has been reported in association with familial hypercholesterolemia and is noted as a common mutation in Spanish populations (Mozas P, Hum. Mutat. 2004 Aug; 24(2):187; Vaca G, Atherosclerosis 2011 Oct; 218(2):391-6; Ahmad Z, Circ Cardiovasc Genet 2012 Dec; 5(6):666-75; Alonso R, J. Am. Coll. Cardiol. 2014 May; 63(19):1982-9; Jannes CE, Atherosclerosis 2015 Jan; 238(1):101-7. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, since premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
