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]

The c.1729T>G p.(Trp577Gly) missense variant in LDLR has been reported in 3 FH patients meeting clinical criteria, including a patient with a clinical diagnosis of FH after alternative causes of high cholesterol were excluded (PS4_SUPPORTING, PP4_ SUPPORTING; ClinGen FH VCEP and internal data). The variant has been reported to segregate with FH in 4 affected meioses (PP1_MODERATE; ClinGen FH VCEP data). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_MODERATE). This variant meets level 1 pathogenic functional study criteria with <70% of wild-type activity in expression/biosynthesis, LDL binding and LDL internalization (PS3_STRONG; PMID: 25378237) and has a REVEL score of 0.937 (PP3_SUPPORTING). Based on the evidence listed above, we have classified this variant as Pathogenic.

This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 577 of the LDLR protein (p.Trp577Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 17347910, 19318025, 27830735, 33740630). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252000). 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%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects LDLR function (PMID: 25378237). This variant disrupts the p.Trp577 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11013454, 12436241, 15823276, 17347910, 18339137). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.
