Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):​c.188G>A​(p.Cys63Tyr) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. C63G) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr19-11100342-T-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.988
• PP5: Variant 19-11100343-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11100343-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 251047.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=1, Likely_pathogenic=2}. Variant chr19-11100343-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

The p.C63Y variant (also known as c.188G>A and legacy p.C42Y), located in coding exon 2 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 188. The cysteine at codon 63 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. Pathogenic LDLR mutations that result in the substitution or generation of cysteine residues within the cysteine-rich LDLR class A repeats and EGF-like domains are common in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Villéger L. Hum Mutat. 2002;20(2):81-7). This particular cysteine alteration has been reported in individuals with hypercholesterolemia (Ambry internal data; Alonso R et al. Clin Biochem, 2009 Jun;42:899-903; Leren TP et al. Atherosclerosis, 2021 04;322:61-66). Two other alterations at the same codon, p.C63R (c.187T>C) and p.C63F (c.188G>T), have also been detected in individuals with hypercholesterolemia (Wang J et al. Hum Mutat, 2001 Oct;18:359; Lombardi MP et al. Genet Test, 2006;10:77-84; Rieck L et al. Clin Genet, 2020 11;98:457-467). Internal structural analysis indicates this alteration eliminates a disulfide bond critical for the structural integrity of the LDLR class A repeat 1 (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
