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 19-11089409-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11089409-C-G is described in ClinVar as [Uncertain_significance]. Clinvar id is 250949.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=1, Uncertain_significance=2}. Variant chr19-11089409-C-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.09). . Strength limited to SUPPORTING due to the PP5.

Review Status: reviewed by expert panel

Collection Method: curation

The NM_000527.4(LDLR):c.-140C>G variant is classified as Uncertain significance - insufficient evidence for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes (PM2, PS3_supporting) as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.03.17.21252755). The supporting evidence is as follows: PM2_Met : This variant is absent from gnomAD (v2.1.1). PS3_Mderate : Level 3 assay: PMID:21538688, Hep G2 cell, luciferase reporter gene assay. HepG2 transfection experiments resulted in a residual LDLR transcriptional activity of 7%. The authors also performed electrophoresis mobility shift assays (EMSA), with reference to De Castro et al., 2011; PMID 20884100), which assess if a variant alters promoter protein binding properties (rather unspecifically, however). Although, no mention of any validation control or number of repeats in publication source is available, this variant showed a 25% reduction band intensity compared to WT (i.e. some degree of altered binding properties). These results were confirmed by Kircher M et al (PMID: 31395865). -
