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
Classification was made for transcript
Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points.
PM1
In a hotspot region, there are  19 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 2 benign, 14 uncertain in NM_000527.5
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage; 
PP2
Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 678 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 92 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.12407 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.59338 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1, homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. 
PP5
Variant 19-11105379-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11105379-C-G is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 251245.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
