Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PS4PP1_StrongPM3PM2PP3PP4PS3_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.910G>A (p.Asp304Asn) variant is classified as Pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes PM2, PP3, PS3_moderate, PS4, PP1_strong, PM3 and PP4 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.03.17.21252755). The supporting evidence is as follows:PM2 - PopMax MAF = 0.0001203 (0.01203%) in African/African American genomes (gnomAD v2.1.1), so PM2 is Met.PP3 - REVEL = 0.883.It is above 0.75, so PP3 is Met.PS3_moderate - 2 Level 2 assays performed by different labs:PMID 2088165:Homozygous patient cells, 125I-LDL assays - result - 5-15% LDLR activity.PMID 6438436:Homozygous patient cells, 125I-LDL assays - result - 5-10% LDLR activity.2 Level 3 assays performed by different labs:PMID 4061492:Heterozygous patient cells, 125I-LDL assays - result - 20-30% LDLR activityPMID 6438436:Heterozygous patient cells, 125I-LDL assays - result - 25-50% LDLR activity---- all functional studies are consistent with damaging effect, so PS3_Moderate is Met.PS4 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in at least 14 unrelated index cases: 4 index cases who fulfill Simon-Broome criteria for FH from Molecular Genetics Laboratory (Centre for Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplantation); 7 unrelated index cases who fulfill Simon-Broome criteria for FH from Malaysia (Al-Khateeb et al, 2011) (PMID:21418584); 1 index case who fulfills modified Simon-Broome criteria for FH (pretreatment LDL-C >95th percentile for age and sex, with (1) tendon xanthoma (proband or first-degree relative) or (2) either first-degree relative with premature CHD (<55 years of age in men or 65 years of age in women) or pretreatment LDL-C >95th percentile for age and sex) from Dallas, TX, USA (Ahmad et al, 2011) (PMID:23064986); 1 index case who fulfils Simon-Broome criteria from MRC Clinical Sciences Centre, London UK (Tosi et al, 2007)(PMID:17094996); and 1 index case with clinical diagnosis of FH (based on (1) a plasma LDL cholesterol concentration above the 95th percentile for age and sex and (2) the presence of xanthoma or coronary heart disease in the proband or at least one first degree relative with type IIa hypercholesterolemia, xanthoma, or CVD) from France (Amsellem et al, 2002) (PMID:12436241), so PS4 is Met.PP1_strong - Variant segregates with FH phenotype in at least 6 informative meiosis from 3 families from Molecular Genetics Laboratory (Centre for Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplantation): 6 affected family members have the variant, so PP1_Strong is Met.PM3 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in an index case from Molecular Genetics Laboratory (Centre for Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplantation) with homozygous FH phenotype (14.9 mmol/L) and LDLR c.761A>C/p.(Gln254Pro), classified as Likely pathogenic by these guidelines, in trans, so PM3 is Met.PP4 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in at least 14 unrelated index cases as described in PS4, PP4 is Met.

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]
