Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points: 0P and 9B. BP4BA1

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1024G>A (p.Asp342Asn) variant is classified as Benign for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes (BA1 and BP4) 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: BA1 - FAF = 0.005579 (0.56%) in African exomes (gnomAD v2.1.1). It is above 0.5%, so BA1 is met.BP4 - REVEL = 0.283. it is below 0.50, splicing evaluation required. Functional data on splicing not available. A) not on limits B) variant is exonic and at least 50bp downstream from canonical acceptor site but it does not create GT. Variant is not predicted to alter splicing, so BP4 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]

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

Collection Method:curation

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1024G>A (p.Asp342Asn) variant is classified as Benign for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes (BA1 and BP4) 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: BA1 - FAF = 0.005579 (0.56%) in African exomes (gnomAD v2.1.1). It is above 0.5%, so BA1 is met. BP4 - REVEL = 0.283. it is below 0.50, splicing evaluation required. Functional data on splicing not available. A) not on limits B) variant is exonic and at least 50bp downstream from canonical acceptor site but it does not create GT. Variant is not predicted to alter splicing, so BP4 is met. -

The LDLR p.Asp301Asn variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs139361635) and in ClinVar (classified benign 2 times, likely benign 2 times, a VUS 4 times and pathogenic once). The variant was also identified in control databases in 168 of 282430 chromosomes (3 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.000595 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 160 of 24944 chromosomes (freq: 0.006414), Latino in 6 of 35432 chromosomes (freq: 0.000169), Other in 1 of 7220 chromosomes (freq: 0.000139) and European (non-Finnish) in 1 of 128970 chromosomes (freq: 0.000008), but not in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European (Finnish) or South Asian populations. The D301N variant in LDLR has been reported in 4 individuals with possible or definitive hypercholesterolemia (Do_1997_PMID:25487149; Fouchier_2001_PMID:11810272; Sjouke_2015_PMID:24585268; Leigh_2008_PMID:18325082). The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. The p.Asp301 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Asp342Asn var iant in LDLR has been reported in 3 individuals with possible or definitive hype rcholesterolemia (Do 1997, Fouchier 2001, Sjouke 2015), including in one individ ual with a second LDLR variant. However, this variant has also been identified i n 0.6% (160/24944) of African chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Consortium ( gnomAD, http://exac.broadinstitute.org). Computational prediction tools and cons ervation analysis suggest that the variant may not impact the protein, though th is information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, w hile the clinical significance of the p.Asp342Asn variant is uncertain, its freq uency suggests that it is more likely to be benign.

Variant summary: LDLR c.1024G>A (p.Asp342Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the EGF-like domain (IPR000742) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00061 in 292610 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0064 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 3 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 5-fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in LDLR causing Familial Hypercholesterolemia phenotype (0.0013), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. c.1024G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals with hypercholesterolemia, however it was also found in healthy controls (e.g. Do_2015). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Familial Hypercholesterolemia. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated normal activities for this variant (Guo_2019). Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and reported the variant with conflicting assessments (i.e. VUS (n=3), likely benign (n=3) / benign (n=2)). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
