Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PS3PS4PP1_StrongPM1PM2PP3PP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.682G>A (p.Glu228Lys) variant is classified as pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence code PS3, PS4, PM1, PM2, PP1_Strong, PP3 and PP4 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gim.2021.09.012).The supporting evidence is as follows:PM2 - PopMax MAF = 0.0001105 (0.01%) in East Asian exomes (gnomAD v2.1.1).PP3 - REVEL = 0.972. It is above 0.75.PM1 - Variant meets PM2 and is missense located in exon 4 .PS3 - Three studies contribute to PS3 attribution. One (PMID:10978268) report a level 3 assay performed on heterozygous patient's fibroblasts with radiolabeled LDL consistent with damaging effect of the variant (50% LDLR activity). The second reports a level 2 assay perfomed on homozygous patient's fibroblasts with radiolabeled LDL consistent with damaging effect of the variant (< 2% LDLR activity).The third is permformed on Heterologous cells (COS-7). FACS, CLSM and WB results in 24% LDLR expression and 21% LDL clearance. LDLR is retained in the ER.PS4 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 13 index cases who fulfil SB criteria for FH (n=1 CGMC, UFGOD, APHP.Sorbonne Université, Hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière; n=1 Cardiovascular Research Group,Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge; n=1 Molecular Genetics Laboratory (Centre for Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplantation)) or DLCN criteria for FH (n=1 Robarts Research Institute; n=9 CGMC, UFGOD, APHP.Sorbonne Université, Hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière).PP1_Strong - Variant segregate with FH in 10 informatives meiosis (6 relatives positive LDL-C > 75th percentile and 4 relatives negative LDLC < 50th percentile) from 2 families from Laboratory of Genetics and Molecular Cardiology, University of São Paulo and in 1 relative positive for variant (LDL-C > 75th percentile) from Cardiovascular Research Group,Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge. PP4 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 13 index cases who fulfil SB criteria for FH (n=1 CGMC, UFGOD, APHP.Sorbonne Université, Hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière; n=1 Cardiovascular Research Group,Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge; n=1 Molecular Genetics Laboratory (Centre for Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplantation)) or DLCN criteria for FH (n=1 Robarts Research Institute; n=9 CGMC, UFGOD, APHP.Sorbonne Université, Hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière).

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]
