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 variant NM_000527.5:c.693C>A (chr19:11105599) in LDLR was detected in 3 heterozygotes out of 58K WGS Icelanders (MAF= 0,003%). Following imputation in a set of 166K Icelanders (4 imputed heterozygotes) we observed an association with LDL cholesterol using measurements from 128289 individuals (Effect (SD)= 3.59, P= 4.14e-10) and Non-HDL cholesterol using measurements from 136901 individuals (Effect (SD)= 3.26, P= 1.50e-08). This variant has been reported in ClinVar previously as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on ACMG criteria (PVS1, PS4, PM2 ) this variant classifies as pathogenic. -

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health
Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Pathogenic variant based on current evidence: This variant is a single nucleotide substitution in exon 4 of the LDLR gene, which creates a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, functional assays have not been performed for this variant. While this variant is rare in the general population (0/277264 chromosomes in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD)), it has been reported in multiple individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 8093663, 16389549, 22883975). Truncating variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525). Based on available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys231*) in the LDLR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525, 28645073). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 8093663, 10559517, 16389549, 20145306, 21310417, 22698793, 22883975, 27680772). This variant is also known as Cys210X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3730). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: LDLR c.693C>A (p.Cys231X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 244710 control chromosomes. c.693C>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (Martin_2016). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27680772). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3730). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The p.C231* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.693C>A), located in coding exon 4 of the LDLR gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 693. This changes the amino acid from a cysteine to a stop codon within coding exon 4. This alteration (also described as p.C210*) has been reported in familial hypercholesterolemia cohorts (Gudnason V et al. Arterioscler. Thromb., 1993 Jan;13:56-63; Chmara M et al. J. Appl. Genet., 2010;51:95-106; Du&scaron;kov&aacute; L et al. Atherosclerosis, 2011 May;216:139-45). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
