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]

This sequence change replaces valine with leucine at codon 189 of the LDLR protein (p.Val189Leu). The valine residue is weakly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between valine and leucine. This variant is present in population databases (rs370820135, ExAC 0.005%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LDLR-related conditions. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function output the following: SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0". The leucine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces valine with leucine at codon 189 of the LDLR protein. This variant is also known as p.Val168Leu in the mature protein. Computational prediction tools indicate that this variant has a neutral impact on protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with LDLR-related disorders in the literature. This variant has been identified in 10/282694 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

This missense variant (also known as p.Val168Leu in the mature protein) replaces valine with leucine at codon 189 of the LDLR protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia in the literature. This variant has been identified in 10/282694 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The LDLR c.565G>C (p.Val189Leu) variant has not been reported in individuals with LDLR-related conditions in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000062 (8/129056 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is deleterious or benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.565G>C (p.V189L) alteration is located in exon 4 (coding exon 4) of the LDLR gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 565, causing the valine (V) at amino acid position 189 to be replaced by a leucine (L). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
