Variant summary: LDLR c.1174T>C (p.Cys392Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the EGF-like domain (IPR000742), affecting a cysteine residue which participates in a disulfide bond (UniProt). Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250708 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1174T>C (aka. C371R) has been reported in the literature in heterozygosity in individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (Lind_2002, Pavanello_2019, Sturm_2021, Benedek_2021), in addition, it was also found in a compound heterozygous individual carrying the variant c.691T>G (p.Cys231Gly), who was reported to have a more pronounced lipid phenotype (Benedek_2021). These data indicate that the variant is likely associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three ClinVar submitters have assessed this variant since 2014: one classified the variant as likely pathogenic and two as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 392 of the LDLR protein (p.Cys392Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 12052488, 33955087, 34037665, 35379577). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251697). 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%. This variant affects a cysteine residue located within an LDLRA or epidermal-growth-factor (EGF)-like domains of the LDLR protein. Cysteine residues in these domains have been shown to be involved in the formation of disulfide bridges, which are critical for protein structure and stability (PMID: 7548065, 7603991, 7979249). In addition, missense substitutions within the LDLRA and EGF-like domains affecting cysteine residues are overrepresented among patients with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 18325082). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
