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]

The p.Asp168Glu variant in LDLR has been reported in one Turkish individual in the homozygous state and in one individual in the heterozygous state with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 15823276, 27765764), and has been identified in 0.005782% (2/34592) of Latino chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs777321035). Please note that for diseases with clinical variability, or reduced penetrance, pathogenic variants may be present at a low frequency in the general population. This variant has also been reported likely pathogenic in ClinVar (Variation ID: 251261). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. Two additional likely pathogenic variants, resulting in a different amino acid change at the same position, p.Asp168Asn and p.Asp168His, have been reported in association with disease in the literature, supporting that a change at this position may not be tolerated (PMID: 8462973, 28966723, 8882879, 28104544, 16250003, 20828696, 27784735, 25647241, 25545329, 16389549, 28379029, 16205024, 19007590, 15556094, 9259195, 22859806, 9678702 /Variation ID: 183136, 251258). The phenotype of a 5 year old Turkish individual homozygous for this variant is highly specific for Familial Hypercholesterolemia based on tendon xanthoma, arcus cornia, and cholesterol levels consistent with disease (PMID: 15823276). Homozygotes with pathogenic variants in this gene are known to have a more severe and earlier onset phenotype than heterozygotes. In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM5, PP4, PS4_Supporting, PP3 (Richards 2015). -

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 168 of the LDLR protein (p.Asp168Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs777321035, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 15823276, 27765764; Invitae). This variant is also known as Asp147Glu (D147E). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251261). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Asp168 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8462973, 16250003, 20828696, 28104544). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
