Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1200C>A(p.Tyr400*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Y400Y) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:2
This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 9 of the EGF precursor homology domain of the LDLR gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 15241806, 16250003, 18096825). It has also been reported in an individual suspected to be affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 34037665). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of LDLR function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251728). This variant is also known as p.Y379X. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 15241806, 16250003, 18096825; Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr400*) in the LDLR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525, 28645073). -
Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
The p.Y400* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1200C>A), located in coding exon 9 of the LDLR gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 1200. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This variant (also referred to as p.Y379X) was reported in multiple individuals with features consistent with familial hypercholesterolemia (Mozas P et al. Hum Mutat, 2004 Aug;24:187; Fouchier SW et al. Hum Mutat, 2005 Dec;26:550-6; Marco-Benedí V et al. Atherosclerosis, 2022 May;349:211-218). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
