Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP2 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):​c.1731G>T​(p.Trp577Cys) 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 Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Uncertain significance in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. W577G) has been classified as 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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 28 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 14 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 chr19-11116882-T-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 252000.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 678 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 92 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.12407 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.59338 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1, homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.995
• PP5: Variant 19-11116884-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11116884-G-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 252004.
