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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 17 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 3 benign, 18 uncertain in NM_000527.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr19-11110697-G-T is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 251586.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 678 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 92 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.12407 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.59338 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1, homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.996
• PP5: Variant 19-11110696-T-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11110696-T-G is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 251585.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The p.C329G pathogenic mutation (also known as c.985T>G), located in coding exon 7 of the LDLR gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 985. The cysteine at codon 329 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant (also referred to as p.C308G) has been detected in multiple individuals with features consistent with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Reshef A et al. Hum Genet, 1996 Nov;98:581-6; Amsellem S et al. Hum Genet, 2002 Dec;111:501-10; Durst R et al. Atherosclerosis, 2006 Dec;189:443-50; Martín-Campos JM et al. J Clin Lipidol, 2018 Sep;12:1452-1462; Pek SLT et al. Atherosclerosis, 2018 Feb;269:106-116; Tada H et al. J Clin Lipidol, 2020 Mar;14:346-351.e9). Another variant at the same codon, p.C329Y (c.986G>A, also referred to as p.C308Y), has also been reported in association with FH (Chiou KR et al. Am. J. Cardiol., 2010 Jun;105:1752-8). Pathogenic LDLR mutations that result in the substitution or generation of cysteine residues within the cysteine-rich LDLR class A repeats and EGF-like domains are common in FH (Villéger L. Hum Mutat. 2002;20(2):81-7). Internal structural analysis indicates this variant eliminates a disulfide bond critical for the structural integrity of the EGF-like 1 domain (Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
