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 19 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 24 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 13 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 chr19-11116888-G-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 252006.
• 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, 0.996
• PP5: Variant 19-11116888-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11116888-G-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 226371.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 579 of the LDLR protein (p.Asp579Tyr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 23375686). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 226371). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Asp579 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 1301956, 16542394). 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.
