Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PS3PS4PP1_StrongPM1PM2PP4PP3

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.551G>A (p.Cys184Tyr) variant is classified as Pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying ACMG/AMP evidence codes PS3, PS4, PP1_Strong, PM1, PM2, PP3 and PP4 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (specification version 1.2) on 28 January 2022. The supporting evidence is as follows:PM2 - PopMax MAF = 0.00019 (0.019%) in European Non-Finnish genomes (gnomAD v2.1.1).PP3 - REVEL = 0.85, which is above the threshold of 0.75.PM1 - variant meets PM2 and is located in exon 4.PS3 - Level 1 functional studies performed - Heterologous cells (CHO), FACS: Result of normal cell surface LDLR (100%), 4% LDL binding and 18% LDL uptake, compared to wild-type (PMID:34167030).PS4 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in at least 22 unrelated index cases who fulfill clinical criteria for FH (8 cases with SB criteria from Cardiovascular Research Group, Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge; 6 cases with DLCN criteria from Robarts Research Institute; 5 cases with DLCN criteria from PathWest Laboratory Medicine WA; 2 cases with DLCN criteria from Color; 1 case with MEDPED criteria from Mayo Clinic Atherosclerosis and Lipid Genomics Laboratory).PP1_Strong - Variant segregates with phenotype in 14 informative meioses from 8 families (Cardiovascular Research Group, Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge – 4 families: 8 relatives affected with the variant and 1 relative unaffected without the variant; Robarts Research Institute – 2 families: 2 relatives affected with the variant; PathWest Laboratory Medicine WA – 2 families: 2 affected relative with the variant and 1 unaffected relative without the variant)PP4 - variant meets PM2 and is identified in >1 case who met clinical criteria for FH after alternative causes for high cholesterol were excluded.

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]
