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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.1, offset of 11, new splice context is: tacGTacga. Cryptic site results in frameshift 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 19-11116999-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11116999-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 252068.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-11116999-G-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that this variant is associated with retention of intron 12, which introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 21990180). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 12 of the LDLR gene. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 10790219, 21990180). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252068). Studies have shown that this variant alters LDLR gene expression (PMID: 21990180). -
