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]
MIR6886 (HGNC:50121): (microRNA 6886) microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the Drosha ribonuclease III enzyme to produce an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cleaved by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most commonly results in translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. The RefSeq represents the predicted microRNA stem-loop. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

The p.Tyr489Ter (sometimes called p.Tyr468Ter) variant in LDLR has been reported in at least 15 individuals with Familial Hypercholesterolemia, segregated with disease in 3 affected relatives from one family (PMID: 27765764, 7833932, 25637381), and has been identified in 0.0008796% (1/113692) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs370777955). Please note that for diseases with clinical variability, or reduced penetrance, pathogenic variants may be present at a low frequency in the general population. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 489, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the LDLR gene is an established disease mechanism in Familial Hypercholesterolemia. One rare nonsense variant with a different nucleotide change but the same amino acid change as this variant has been reported in association with disease in ClinVar, supporting that this variant may be pathogenic (Variation ID: 440647). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia in an autosomal dominant manner based on the predicted impact of the variant and a report of another variant with the same amino acid change. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PS1, PP1, PS4 (Richards 2015). -

The p.Y489* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1467C>G), located in coding exon 10 of the LDLR gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 1467. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. This variant (also referred to as Y468X) has been reported in multiple individuals and cohorts with familial hypercholesterolemia (Drouin-Chartier JP et al. Metabolism, 2015 Nov;64:1541-7; Wang J et al. Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol, 2016 Dec;36:2439-2445). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 161270). This variant is also known as stop 468. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with FH and clinical features of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (PMID: 7833932, 25487149). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs370777955, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr489*) in the LDLR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525, 28645073). -
