Genes affected

LDLR-AS1 (HGNC:54407): (LDLR antisense RNA 1) This gene represents a regulatory lncRNA that overlaps the 5' UTR and coding sequence of the LDLR (low density lipoprotein receptor) gene. This lncRNA overlaps LDLR in the antisense orientation, and has been shown to downregulate production of the low density lipoprotein receptor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2019]

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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 19-11089413-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11089413-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Uncertain_significance]. Clinvar id is 250954.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=2, Uncertain_significance=2}. Variant chr19-11089413-C-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.14). . Strength limited to SUPPORTING due to the PP5.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: reviewed by expert panel

Collection Method: curation

The NM_000527.4(LDLR):c.-136C>G variant is classified as Uncertain significance - insufficient evidence for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes PM2, PS3_Moderate and PP4 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 - This variant is absent from gnomAD (gnomAD v2.1.1), so PM2 is met. PS3_moderate - 2 Level 3 FS: (1) De Castro-Orós et al. 2011 (PMID: 21538688): Heterologous cells (HepG2), luciferase assays - results: 12% reporter gene expression (2) Kircher et al. 2019 (PMID: 31395865): saturation mutagenesis in HepG2 cells, luciferase high throughput study - results: 16% and 11% luciferase expression --- in both studies, transcription levels are below 50% of wild-type, so PS3_Moderate is met. PP4 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 1 index case who fulfills DLCN >6 criteria for FH from PMID: 21538688, after alternative causes of high cholesterol were excluded. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the -136C nucleotide in the LDLR gene. Other variant(s) that disrupt this nucleotide have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 7937987, 8664911, 15199436, 15359125, 16250003). This suggests that this nucleotide is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this position are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects LDLR function (PMID: 21538688). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 250954). This variant has been observed in individuals with clinical features of familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 21538688; Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant occurs in a non-coding region of the LDLR gene. It does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the LDLR protein. -
