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

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.04607046 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 7.4, offset of -30, new splice context is: gatcctcccccgccctccAGcct. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 19-11116093-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11116093-G-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 3231951.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The c.1587-1G>C intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to C substitution one nucleotide before coding exon 11 of the LDLR gene. This variant has been reported in several familial hypercholesterolemia cohorts (Civeira F et al. J Am Coll Cardiol, 2008 Nov;52:1546-53; Klanar G et al. J Am Coll Cardiol, 2015 Sep;66:1250-1257). Other alterations impacting the same donor site (c.1587-1G>A, c.1587-2A>T) have been described in subjects with familial hypercholesterolemia (Yu W et al. Atherosclerosis, 2002 Dec;165:335-42; Marduel M et al. Hum Mutat, 2010 Nov;31:E1811-24; Martin R et al. Atherosclerosis, 2016 Nov;254:8-13; Setia N et al. J Clin Lipidol, 2020 Jan;14:35-45). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. In addition to the clinical data in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
