This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5 (LDLR):c.2475C>A (p.Asn825Lys) variant is classified as Pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes (PM2, PP3, PS3, PP4, PS4, PP1_Strong) 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:PM2: PopMax MAF= 0.00001 in European (Non-Finnish) population (gnomAD v2.1.1).PP3: REVEL = 0.802.PS3: Level 1 experiment using heterologous cells (CHO), the experiments shown 50-60% LDL uptake, and normal LDL-LDLR binding (95%) and normal cell surface LDLR (95%), Etxebarria et al, 2015, Unidad de Biofísica (CSIC, UPV/EHU), Departamento de Bioquímica, Universidad del País Vasco, Spain, PMID25378237.PP4: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in >1 index cases who fulfil FH diagnostic criteria after alternative causes of high cholesterol were excluded.PS4: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 22 unrelated index cases who fulfil FH diagnostic criteria. Four index cases from Centre de Génétique Moléculaire et Chromosomique, Unité de génétique de l'Obésité et des Dyslipidémies (APHP.Sorbonne Université, Hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière), three of them had DLCN score ≥6, one met Simon Broome possible for FH. Three index cases with DLCN score ≥6, from Robarts Research Institute, Canada. One case fulfil criteria of TC and LDLc higher than the 95th percentile, with presence of tendon xanthomata, CAD in the proband or in a first degree relative, Chaves et al, 2001, Institute of cytological research and service of endocrinology and nutrition, University of Valencia, Spain, PMID 11600564. Fourteen index cases fulfil 2 of 3 criteria of: 1) TC>8mmol/l, LDL>6mmol/l, TG<2.5mmol/l, 2) CAD before 60yr or family history of CAD, 3) presence of tendon xanthoma, Brusgaard et al, 2006, Department of clinical biochemistry and clinical genetics, Odense University hospital, Denmark, PMID 16542394.PP1_Strong: Variant segregates with FH phenotype in 16 informative meiosis from more than 3 families. Two affected relatives, one each from 2 families tested positive for the variant from Robarts Research Institute, Canada. Fourteen affected relatives from unknown number of families tested positive for the variant, Brusgaard et al, 2006, Department of clinical biochemistry and clinical genetics, Odense University hospital, Denmark, PMID 16542394.PS1 not met: One other missense variant that leads to the same amino acid change at same codon, NM_000527.5 (LDLR):c.2475C>G (p.Asn825Lys), (ClinVarID 161265), is classified as Likely Pathogenic by these guidelines, therefore PS1 is not met. PM5 not met: One other missense variants in the same codon: NM_000527.5 (LDLR):c.2473A>G (p.Asn825Asp), (ClinVarID 252340) is classified as Likely Pathogenic by these guidelines, therefore PM5 not met.

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]

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 825 of the LDLR protein (p.Asn825Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs374045590, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 11668640, 27830735, 36105085). This variant is also known as N804K. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252341). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects LDLR function (PMID: 25378237). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The LDLR c.2475C>A p.(Asn825Lys) missense variant has been reported in >=10 FH patients meeting clinical criteria, including patients where alternative causes of high cholesterol were excluded (PS4_STRONG, PP4_SUPPORTING; PMIDs 15241806, 16542394, ClinGen FH VCEP data). This variant has been reported to segregate with FH in >=6 affected meioses (PP1_STRONG; PMID: 16542394, ClinGen FH VCEP data). This variant was detected in the homozygous state in a child with a homozygous FH phenotype, where phase has been confirmed by parental testing (PM3_MODERATE; PMID 10421221). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v2.1.1 is 0.000008792 in the European (non-Finnish) population, which is lower than the ClinGen FH VCEP threshold (=<0.0002) for PM2_MODERATE. This variant meets level 1 pathogenic functional study criteria with 50-60% LDL uptake in heterologous cells (CHO-ldlA7) (PS3_STRONG; PMID: 25378237). REVEL score is 0.802 (PP3_SUPPORTING). Based on the evidence listed above, we have classified this variant as Pathogenic. -
