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]

Variant summary: LDLR c.1097A>G (p.Gln366Arg) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the EGF-like domain of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 251762 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 4.4e-05 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. c.1097A>G has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (Gunderson_1996, Lind_2002, Leren_2004). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar (after 2014) and classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 366 of the LDLR protein (p.Gln366Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs746982741, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 8931648, 9104431, 12052488). This variant is also known as Q345R. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251662). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
