The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1307T>A (p.Val436Glu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The gene LDLR is a known oncogene (CancerMine: 2 oncogene citations). The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV002693562: Based on internal structural analysis, this variant is anticipated to result in a significant decrease in structural stability (Lo Surdo P et al. EMBO Rep., 2011 Dec;12:1300-5).". A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.V436A: Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 251778, 2 stars) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.V436M: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 1172265, 1 star)

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]

MIR6886 (HGNC:50121): (microRNA 6886) microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the Drosha ribonuclease III enzyme to produce an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cleaved by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most commonly results in translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. The RefSeq represents the predicted microRNA stem-loop. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Specifications for LDLR are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 5 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	O3Absent or very rare in population		Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = absent, AC = 0 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
	O6Computational evidence supports deleterious effect		Computational evidence supports a deleterious/oncogenic effect; Missense variant — primary computational scorer supports an oncogenic/deleterious effect
	O7Mutational hotspot or critical domain		Supporting: cancerhotspots.org hit, critical domain, or missense neighbourhood hotspot; No cancerhotspots.org hit at this position; UniProt domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 33 pathogenic, 0 benign (OR vs. background: 335.0); Variant does not impact splicing — splice-hotspot path not applicable
	O8Missense constraint in gene or region		Missense in gene/domain constrained for missense variation where missense is common disease mechanism (O8 supporting); Gene/disease mechanism: missense is a common mechanism of oncogenesis; gnomAD missense Z-score: 0.61 (threshold ≥3.09 for constraint); Domain-level constraint: variant is in a critically constrained functional domain (IS_AT_CRITICAL_DOMAIN)
