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 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.04761905 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4, offset of -26, new splice context is: ctgGTcaga. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 19-11107516-T-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11107516-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 226340.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-11107516-T-C is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

In-silico tools (Human Splicing Finder and Splice AI) are consistent in predicting to alter the acceptor splice site which may lead to aberrant splicing leading to either the formation of a truncated protein or the transcript to undergo nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant present at a consensus splice site is reported to cause intron inclusion without evidence of degradation of the mutant transcripts (Holla ØL et al., 2009). This variant is reported in the ClinVar database with pathogenic/likely pathogenic interpretation in three independent submissions (ClinVar ID: 226340). The clinical features observed in the proband and her similarly affected sibling are in concordance with hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1. -
