Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):​c.478T>G​(p.Cys160Gly) variant causes a missense 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. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. C160R) 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 Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a strand (size 2) in uniprot entity LDLR_HUMAN there are 4 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000527.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr19-11105384-T-C is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.996
• PP5: Variant 19-11105384-T-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11105384-T-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 251248.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-11105384-T-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

The p.C160G pathogenic mutation (also known as c.478T>G), located in coding exon 4 of the LDLR gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 478. The cysteine at codon 160, located in LDLR class A repeat 4, is replaced by glycine, 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, also referred to as p.C139G, has been reported to segregate with hypercholesterolemia in three individuals in one family, while absent in three individuals with normal total cholesterol (Chakir Kh et al. Mol. Genet. Metab., 1998 Jan;63:31-4). Other variants affecting this codon (p.C160Y, p.C160R, and p.C160F) have also been detected in FH cohorts (Day IN et al. Hum. Mutat., 1997;10:116-27; Amsellem S et al. Hum. Genet., 2002 Dec;111:501-10; Bourbon M et al. Atherosclerosis, 2017 07;262:8-13). Internal structural analysis indicates this alteration eliminates a disulfide bond critical for the structural integrity of LDLR class A repeat 4 (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
