Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):​c.1109A>C​(p.Asn370Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,546 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. N370K) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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 18 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a disulfide_bond (size 13) in uniprot entity LDLR_HUMAN there are 23 pathogenic changes around while only 2 benign (92%) 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 chr19-11111563-C-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.993
• PP5: Variant 19-11111562-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11111562-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 251668.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-11111562-A-C is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has been observed to segregate with familial hypercholesterolemia in several families, including a family member who was homozygous for this variant (PMID: 23375686). This variant is also known as p.N349T in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251668). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces asparagine with threonine at codon 370 of the LDLR protein (p.Asn370Thr). The asparagine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between asparagine and threonine. -
