The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.2389G>C (p.Val797Leu) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (no review stars). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV002738420: An impact on splicing has been demonstrated for the c.2389G>T mutation, which causes exon 16 skipping and is predicted to result in an in-frame deletion of 26 amino acids (p.A771_I796del) in the extracellular and the trans-membrane domains of the LDLR protein (Bourbon M et al. J. Med. Genet. 2009;46:352-7).". A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.V797M: Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 226393, 2 stars) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.V797= (synonymous): Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 891738); p.V797= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 1094170, 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]

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 21 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	PS1Same amino acid change as known pathogenic		Same AA change, ≥2-star ClinVar pathogenic — very strong (PS1); ClinVar contains 1 P/LP entry with the same amino acid change (highest review level: 2 stars).
	PS3Functional studies show damaging effect		Well-established functional study supports damaging effect (PS3); SCV002738420: An impact on splicing has been demonstrated for the c.2389G>T mutation, which causes exon 16 skipping and is predicted to result in an in-frame deletion of 26 amino acids (p.A771_I796del) in the extracellular and the trans-membrane domains of the LDLR protein (Bourbon M et al. J. Med. Genet. 2009;46:352-7).
	PM1Mutational hot spot or critical domain		Missense neighbourhood hotspot (≥2 P/LP within ±8 AA, OR ≥ 5 vs. background) — PM1; In-domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign rare missense variants.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 6 pathogenic, 3 benign (OR vs. background: 9.3).
	PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases		Absent from gnomAD (AD/XL gene) — PM2; Absent from gnomAD at well-covered site (MOI: AD+AR) (threshold 0.0001) — PM2 moderate.
	PM5Novel missense at known pathogenic residue		Different pathogenic missense at same AA residue in ClinVar (PM5); ClinVar contains a germline Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic entry at the same amino acid position with a different amino acid change: p.V797M: Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 226393, 2 stars); Other variants at the same amino acid residue (not pathogenic): p.V797= (synonymous): Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 891738); p.V797= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 1094170, 1 star)
	PP3Computational evidence supports damaging effect		Splicing predictors (SpliceAI/dbscSNV) support splicing impact — moderate computational evidence (PP3); Splicing verdict: pathogenic (Moderate).; Germline computational verdict: not pathogenic.
	PP5Reputable source reports pathogenic		ClinVar 0-star pathogenic — supporting (PP5); ClinVar germline classification: Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic, 0 star(s).
