Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Human Genome Sequencing Center Clinical Lab, Baylor College of Medicine | Apr 10, 2018 | This c.910G>A (p.Asp304Asn) variant in the LDLR gene has been reported in multiple unrelated individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 1301956, 9664576, 11810272, 12436241, 21418584, 21310417) and is extremely rare in the general population. Functional studies have shown that the mutant LDLR protein retains only 5-15% of receptor activity compared with wildtype LDLR protein (PMID: 1301956). This c.910G>A (p.Asp304Asn) variant in the LDLR gene is classified as pathogenic. - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health | Nov 28, 2023 | This missense variant (also known as p.Asp283Asn in the mature protein and as FH Denver-2) replaces aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 304 in the LDLR type A repeat 7 of the LDLR protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Experimental functional studies using fibroblasts from patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia have shown that this variant causes a significant reduction in LDLR activity (PMID: 1301956, 6438436). Another in-vitro functional study has shown that this variant causes in increase in LDLR retention in the endoplasmic reticulum (PMID: 11939787). This variant has been reported in over 20 individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 4061491, 9664576, 11810272, 17094996, 21418584, 23064986, 34037665). This variant has also been observed in compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals affected with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 4061491, 17094996, 27678436, 31048103), indicating that this variant contributes to disease. This variant has been identified in 3/282666 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Different variants affecting the same codon, p.Asp304Glu and p.Asp304Tyr, are considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 226336 and 251517), suggesting that aspartic acid at this position is important for LDLR protein function. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. - |

Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:4
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Jan 19, 2024 | This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 304 of the LDLR protein (p.Asp304Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs121908030, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 2088165, 9664576, 11810272, 12436241, 21418584, 22698793). This variant is also known as Denver-2 and D283N. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3692). 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%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects LDLR function (PMID: 1301956). This variant disrupts the p.Asp304 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 1301956, 17094996). 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. - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | Nov 02, 2020 | Variant summary: LDLR c.910G>A (p.Asp304Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the LDL-receptor class A7 domain (Guo_2019) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251478 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publication data). c.910G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (Hobbs_1990, Al-Khateeb_2011, Luirink_2019). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and variant effect results in 5-15 % of normal activity (Hobbs_1992). Additionally, other variants at this codon (p.D304E/H/Y/V) have been reported in individuals with Familial Hypercholesterolemia and are considered as likely pathogenic/pathogenic (HGMD database). This suggests that the asparagine at codon 304 of the LDLR protein is critical for protein function. Nine ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic (5x) and likely pathogenic (4x). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. - |

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano | Feb 05, 2019 | The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00012 (3/24946 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is consistent with pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant was identified in multiple individuals affected with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 11810272 (2001), 12436241 (2002), 21418584 (2011), 22698793 (2012), 23064986 (2012), 24507775 (2014), 33740630 (2021), 34037665 (2021)). The variant has also been reported as compound heterozygous with another pathogenic variant in children with a severe presentation (PMID: 27678436 (2016), 30795984 (2019)). Functional studies of homozygous cultured fibroblasts showed a retention of only 5-15% LDLR activity (PMID: 1301956 (1992)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | GeneDx | Jun 14, 2022 | Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Published functional studies demonstrate significantly reduced LDL receptor activity compared to wild type (Hobbs et al., 1990; Hobbs et al., 1992); Also known as FH Denver-2 and p.D283N; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 2318961, 12436241, 31447099, 25637381, 25487149, 24507775, 2088165, 9664576, 11810272, 17094996, 21418584, 22698793, 34037665, 30795984, 1301956, 33740630, 32719484) - |
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine | Apr 06, 2018 | The p.Asp304Asn variant in LDLR (also described as p.Asp283Asn in the literature ) has been reported in at least 14 individuals (in at least 1 in the homozygous state and at least 13 in the heterozygous state) with familial hypercholesterol emia (FH; Hobbs 1990, Callis 1998, Fouchier 2001, Ansellem 2002, Al-Khateeb 2011 , Tichy 2012, Do 2015). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that t he p.Asp304Asn variant may impact protein function (Hobbs 1990). This variant ha s also been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 36 92) and has been identified in 3/24012 African chromosomes by the Genome Aggrega tion Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs121908030). Thi s frequency is consistent with the frequency of FH in the general population. Co mputational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p.Asp304 Asn variant may impact the protein. In addition, four other variants at this pos ition have been reported in individuals with FH (HGMD database, Stenson 2017), w ith at least one classified as likely pathogenic or pathogenic, suggesting that changes at this position are not tolerated. In summary, this variant meets crit eria to be classified as pathogenic for FH in an autosomal dominant manner based upon presence in multiple affected individuals, low frequency in the general po pulation, the presence of a different pathogenic variant at the same codon, and functional and computational evidence.

LDLR-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences | Jul 17, 2024 | The LDLR c.910G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asp304Asn. This variant (also known as D283N) has been reported in heterozygous state to be causative for familial hypercholesterolemia (Callis et al. 1998. PubMed ID: 9664576; Fouchier et al. 2001. PubMed ID: 11810272; Amsellem et al. 2002. PubMed ID: 12436241; Luirink et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30795984). This variant is reported in 0.012% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. This variant is classified as pathogenic. - |
Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Aug 18, 2021 | The p.D304N pathogenic mutation (also known as c.910G>A), located in coding exon 6 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 910. The aspartic acid at codon 304 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This mutation (also referred to as p.D283N and Denver-2) has been reported in numerous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) cohorts (Callis M et al. Mol. Cell. Probes. 1998;12:149-52; Fouchier SW et al. Hum. Genet. 2001;109:602-15; Amsellem S et al. Hum. Genet. 2002;111:501-10; Tosi I et al. Atherosclerosis. 2007;194:102-11; Al-Khateeb A et al. BMC Med. Genet. 2011;12:40; Ahmad Z et al. Circ Cardiovasc Genet. 2012;5:666-75). It has also been described in the homozygous state in an individual whose LDL receptor activity was 5-15% of normal activity and in the compound heterozygous state with the likely pathogenic alteration LDLR p.E101K in an individual with homozygous FH (Bilheimer DW et al. Am. J. Med. Genet. 1985;22:593-8; Khoo KL et al. J Clin Lipidol. 2016;10:1188-94). Functional studies suggest this mutation results in defective transport of the LDLR protein (Hobbs HH et al. Hum. Mutat. 1992;1:445-66; Li Y et al. Biochemistry. 2002;41:4921-8). In addition, three other alterations affecting the same codon (p.D304V, p.D304E, and p.D304Y) have been associated with FH (Hobbs HH et al. Hum. Mutat. 1992;1:445-66; Loux N et al. Hum. Mutat. 1992;1:325-32; Lombardi MP et al. Genet. Test. 2006;10:77-84). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. - |
