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 22 ACMG points.

• PS1: Transcript NM_000527.5 (LDLR) is affected with MISSENSE_VARIANT having same AA change as one Pathogenic present in Lovd

The c.420G>T (p.Glu140Asp) variant of the LDLR gene is located on the exon 4 and is predicted to replace glutamic acid with aspartic acid at codon 140 (p.Glu140Asp). The variant has been identified in more than 10 unrelated individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20145306, 34074024, 32491301, 23680767, 34182004, 11524740, 32770674). Alternative variant disrupting the same amino acid (p.Glu140Lys) has been interpreted as pathogenic by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Variant Curation Expert Panel (ClinVar ID: 251213). The p.Glu140Asp variant has been reported in ClinVar (ID: 251216). The variant is absent in the general population database (gnomAD). Computational prediction algorithms suggest a deleterious impact for this variant (REVEL score 0.853). Therefore, the c.420G>T (p.Glu140Asp) variant of LDLR has been classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The LDLR c.420G>T (p.Glu140Asp) variant has been reported in the published literature in affected individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMIDs: 21310417 (2011) and 34037665 (2021)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change replaces glutamic acid with aspartic acid at codon 140 of the LDLR protein (p.Glu140Asp). The glutamic acid residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glutamic acid and aspartic acid. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 21310417, 17094996, 17094996, 20145306, 11754108). This variant is also described as Glu119Asp (E119D) in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251217). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant disrupts the p.Glu140 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 1301956, 23375686, 21722902, 11668627, 15359125, 21310417). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. -
