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]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaFeb 02, 2023The LDLR c.1721G>A (p.Arg574His) missense variant results in the substitution of arginine at amino acid position 574 with histidine. This variant has been reported in a heterozygous state in at least six probands with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20018285; PMID: 35753512; PMID: 23375686; PMID: 33994402; PMID:33740630; PMID: 35339733; PMID: 34037665). The c.1712G>A was reported in a heterozygous state in a 60-year-old female with angina pectoris and pseudoxanthoma elasticum associated with elevated plasma LDL cholesterol levels, who also carried two ABCC6 variants in a compound heterozygous state. The c.1721G>A variant segregated with elevated LDL cholesterol levels in six additional family members (PMID: 20018285). This variant is reported in the Genome Aggregation Database in four alleles at a frequency of 0.000113 in the Latino/Admixed American population (version 2.1.1). Based on the available evidence, the c.1721G>A (p.Arg574His) variant is classified as likely pathogenic for familial hypercholesterolemia. -

Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:3
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthNov 10, 2023This missense variant replaces arginine with histidine at codon 574 of the LDLR protein. This variant is also known as p.Arg553His in the mature protein. This variant alters a conserved arginine residue in the LDLR type B repeat 5 of the EGF precursor homology domain of the LDLR protein (a.a. 572-615), where pathogenic missense variants are found enriched (ClinVar-LDLR). Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have a deleterious impact on protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in at least eight individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20018285, 23375686, 25064003, 25461735, 33740630, 33994402, 34037665, 34314377, 34573395, 35753512; Color internal data). This variant has been identified in 9/282858 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different missense variant, p.Arg574Cys, is considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 183123), suggesting that arginine at this codon position is important for LDLR protein function. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 01, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 574 of the LDLR protein (p.Arg574His). This variant is present in population databases (rs777188764, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20018285, 23375686, 25461735; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251996). 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.Arg574 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11462246, 19446849, 20018285, 25461735, 26892515; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNew York Genome CenterFeb 11, 2020The c.1721G>A, p.Arg574His variant in the LDLR gene has been observed in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia [PMID: 20018285; PMID: 25461735; PMID: 23375686]. The variant has 0.0031% allele frequency in the gnomAD database (9 out of 282,858 heterozygous alleles), indicating this is a rare allele. In silico tools predict that this variant is likely to be disruptive[https://useast.ensembl.org/info/docs/tools/vep/index.html]. Variants that disrupt the p.Arg574 amino acid residue in LDLR have been observed in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia [PMID: 20018285; PMID: 25461735; PMCID: PMC4766367; PMID: 19446849; PMID: 11462246]. This suggests that it is a clinically significant residue, and that other variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be causative of disease. Based on the available evidence, the c.1721G>A, p.Arg574His variant in the LDLR gene is classified as likely pathogenic. -
LDLR-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJan 06, 2023The LDLR c.1721G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg574His. This variant has been observed in multiple individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (Pisciotta et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20018285, Jannes et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25461735, Bertolini et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23375686). This variant is reported in 0.011% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/19-11227550-G-A). This variant has been classified as likely pathogenic by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel (Clinvar ID: 251996). We interpret this variant as likely pathogenic. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsFeb 09, 2024The c.1721G>A (p.R574H) alteration is located in exon 12 (coding exon 12) of the LDLR gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1721, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 574 to be replaced by a histidine (H). This alteration has been detected in several unrelated probands reported to have familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), and has shown segregation with hypercholesterolemia in at least one family (Pisciotta, 2010; Bertolini, 2013; Jannes, 2015; Huang, 2022; Noto, 2022; external communication; Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
