The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.2389G>C (p.Val797Leu) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The gene LDLR is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 2 oncogene citations). The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (no review stars). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV002738420: An impact on splicing has been demonstrated for the c.2389G>T mutation, which causes exon 16 skipping and is predicted to result in an in-frame deletion of 26 amino acids (p.A771_I796del) in the extracellular and the trans-membrane domains of the LDLR protein (Bourbon M et al. J. Med. Genet. 2009;46:352-7).". A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.V797M: Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 226393, 2 stars) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.V797= (synonymous): Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 891738); p.V797= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 1094170, 1 star)

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]

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Specifications for LDLR are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	O3Absent or very rare in population		Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = absent, AC = 0 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
	O6Computational evidence supports deleterious effect		Computational evidence supports a deleterious/oncogenic effect; Missense variant — primary computational scorer does not indicate an oncogenic effect; O6 not met via missense path; Splice-region variant — splicing algorithms predict an impact on splicing; supports O6
	O7Mutational hotspot or critical domain		Supporting: cancerhotspots.org hit, critical domain, or missense neighbourhood hotspot; No cancerhotspots.org hit at this position; UniProt domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 6 pathogenic, 3 benign (OR vs. background: 9.3); No cancerhotspots.org splice hotspot hit at this position
	O8Missense constraint in gene or region		Missense in gene/domain constrained for missense variation where missense is common disease mechanism (O8 supporting); Gene/disease mechanism: missense is a common mechanism of oncogenesis; gnomAD missense Z-score: 0.61 (threshold ≥3.09 for constraint); Domain-level constraint: variant is in a critically constrained functional domain (IS_AT_CRITICAL_DOMAIN)
