Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 0P and 2B. BP7BP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1836C>T (p.Ala612=) variant is classified as likely benign for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence code BP4 and BP7 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gim.2021.09.012). The supporting evidence is as follows:BP4 - No REVEL, splicing evaluation required.Functional data on splicing not available.- Variant is exonic and at least 50bp downstream from canonical acceptor site but it does not create GT.- There is a GT nearby.MES scores: variant cryptic = -16.82, wt cryptic = -12.61, canonical donor = 4.48.Ratio variant cryptic/wt cryptic: -16.82/-12.61 = 1.33 --- it is above 1.1Ratio variant cryptic/canonical donor: -16.82/4.48 = -3.75 --- it is not above 0.9Variant is not predicted to alter splicing.BP7 - Variant is synonymous and meets BP4.

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]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.1836C>T (p.Ala612Ala) variant has been reported in two studies and is found in a total of eight familial hypercholesterolemia patients in a heterozygous state (Widhalm et al. 2007; Chmara et al. 2010). In silico analysis of this variant predicted no effect on consensus splice sites and overall non-pathogenicity (Chmara et al. 2010; Usifo et al. 2012). Control data are unavailable for this variant, which is reported at a frequency of 0.00034 in the European (Non-Finnish) population of the Exome Aggregation Consortium. The evidence for this variant is limited. The p.Ala612Ala variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance but suspicious for pathogenicity for familial hypercholesterolemia. -

Significance:Likely benign

Review Status:reviewed by expert panel

Collection Method:curation

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1836C>T (p.Ala612=) variant is classified as likely benign for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence code BP4 and BP7 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gim.2021.09.012). The supporting evidence is as follows: BP4 - No REVEL, splicing evaluation required. Functional data on splicing not available. - Variant is exonic and at least 50bp downstream from canonical acceptor site but it does not create GT. - There is a GT nearby. MES scores: variant cryptic = -16.82, wt cryptic = -12.61, canonical donor = 4.48. Ratio variant cryptic/wt cryptic: -16.82/-12.61 = 1.33 --- it is above 1.1 Ratio variant cryptic/canonical donor: -16.82/4.48 = -3.75 --- it is not above 0.9 Variant is not predicted to alter splicing. BP7 - Variant is synonymous and meets BP4. -

Variant summary: LDLR c.1836C>T alters a non-conserved nucleotide resulting in a synonymous change. Computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00018 in 251468 control chromosomes (i.e., 46 heterozygotes; gnomAD v2.1 Exomes dataset). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in LDLR causing Early Onset Coronary Artery Disease (0.00018 vs 0.001), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.1836C>T, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with premature atherosclerosis and/or hypercholesterolaemia (e.g., Widhalm_2007, Chmara_2010, Saracoglu_2018). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 20145306, 28145427, 22881376, 17347910, 29870584). Multiple submitters have reported clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 with conflicting assessments (benign, n = 1; likely benign, n = 5; VUS, n = 4; likely pathogenic, n = 1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant identified in a genome or exome case(s) and assessed due to predicted null impact of the variant or pathogenic assertions in the literature or databases. Disclaimer: This variant has not undergone full assessment. The following are preliminary notes: This is a silent variant in LDLR. It is classified as DM in HGMD. This variant has been reported in 7 patients with familial hypercholesterolemia in one study (Widhalm 2007). This variant is classified in ClinVar with 1 star as VUS by Mayo Clinic and as Likely Benign by British Heart Foundation. The variant has a Max MAF of 0.03% in ExAC (23 alleles) and 0.03% in gnomAD (43 alleles). -

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
