Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PM2PM5PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.2389G>T(p.Val797Leu) variant causes a missense, splice region change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000186 in 1,613,688 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. V797M) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

The c.2389G>T pathogenic mutation (also known as p.V797L), located in coding exon 16 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 2389. The amino acid change results in valine to leucine at codon 797, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This change occurs in the last base pair of coding exon 16, and has been revealed to cause exon 16 skipping which is expected to cause an in-frame deletion of 26 amino acids (p.A771_I796del) in the extracellular and the trans-membrane domain of the LDLR protein (Bourbon M et al. J. Med. Genet., 2009 May;46:352-7). This alteration (described as p.V776L) was detected in an individual with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and in his two affected children, while it was absent in his unaffected child (Bourbon M et al. J. Med. Genet., 2009 May;46:352-7). The alteration has also been reported in FH cohorts, but clinical details were limited (Lombardi MP et al. Clin. Genet., 2000 Feb;57:116-24; Medeiros AM et al. Atherosclerosis, 2010 Oct;212:553-8). In addition, alterations affecting this splice junction, including one at the same nucleotide (c.2389G>A), have been reported in association with FH (Pereira E et al. Hum. Genet., 1995 Sep;96:319-22; Bertolini S et al. Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol., 1999 Feb;19:408-18; Lombardi MP et al. Clin. Genet., 2000 Feb;57:116-24; Hegele RA. Genome, 2006 Nov;49:1343-50). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 797 of the LDLR protein (p.Val797Leu). RNA analysis indicates that this missense change induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 10735632, 19411563). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as V776L. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252298). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this missense change results in skipping of exon 16, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 19411563). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
