Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health | Sep 25, 2024 | This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 482 of the LDLR protein. This variant is also known as p.Asp461Asn in the mature protein. This variant alters a conserved aspartic acid residue in the LDLR type B repeat 2 of the LDLR protein (a.a. 439-485), where pathogenic missense variants are found enriched (ClinVar-LDLR). Computational prediction tools indicate that this variant has a deleterious impact on protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This LDLR variant has been reported in over 40 heterozygous individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 8535447, 10559517, 15523646, 16389549, 21310417, 20236128, 23375686, 33740630, 34037665; Color internal data) and is a recurrent variant among Irish individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 15523646). This variant has also been observed in compound heterozygous state with a known pathogenic LDLR variant in two individuals affected with severe homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, a phenotype expected of having two deleterious LDLR variants (PMID: 30270091). It has been shown that this variant segregates with disease in three affected individuals in one family (PMID: 8535447). This variant has been identified in 11/282680 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Different variants affecting the same codon (p.Asp482Tyr, p.Asp482His and p.Asp482Gly), are considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 251845, 251844 and 251846), suggesting that aspartic acid at this position is important for LDLR protein function. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. - |

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina | Sep 11, 2017 | Across a selection of the available literature, the LDLR c.1444G>A (p.Asp482Asn) variant has been identified in a heterozygous state in 36 cases with familial hypercholesterolemia (Taylor et al. 2010; Martin et al. 2016; Braenne et al. 2016). Control data are unavailable for this variant, which is reported at a frequency of 0.000087 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Genome Aggregation Database. Based on the evidence, the p.Asp482Asn variant is classified as pathogenic for familial hypercholesterolemia. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. - |
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | curation | Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard | Jan 22, 2020 | The p.Asp482Asn (sometimes called p.Asp461Asn) variant in LDLR has been reported in at least 24 individuals (including 4 Czech, 3 German, 1 Norwegian, 1 Italian, and 1 Dutch individuals) with Familial Hypercholesterolemia, segregated with disease in 5 affected relatives from 2 families (PMID: 26036859, 22698793, 9026534, 15199436, 11857755, 16159606, 21310417, 11139254, 11810272), and has been identified in 0.008526% (11/129018) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs139624145). Please note that for diseases with clinical variability, or reduced penetrance, pathogenic variants may be present at a low frequency in the general population. This variant has also been reported as a VUS, a likely pathogenic variant, and a pathogenic variant in ClinVar (Variation ID: 161284). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant is likely pathogenic. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS4, PP1_Moderate, PP3 (Richards 2015). - |

Pathogenic, reviewed by expert panel | curation | ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Variant Curation Expert Panel | Jun 23, 2023 | The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1444G>A (p.Asp482Asn) variant is classified as Pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying ACMG/AMP evidence codes PS4, PP1_Strong, PM2, PP3 and PP4 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (specification version 1.2) on 23 June 2023. The supporting evidence is as follows: PM2: PopMax MAF = 0.00009 (0.009%) in European (Non-Finnish) exomes+genomes (gnomAD v2.1.1). PP3: REVEL=0.945. PS4, PP4: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in at least 14 unrelated index cases who fulfill criteria for FH (3 cases with Simon-Broome criteria from Molecular Genetics Laboratory, Centre for Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplantation, Czech Republic; 3 cases with DLCN score >=6 and 1 case with Simon-Broome criteria from Service de Biochimie et de Biologie Moléculaire, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Lyon, France; 3 cases with DLCN score >=6 from Robarts Research Institute, Canada; 3 cases with DLCN score >=6 from Cardiovascular Genetics Laboratory, PathWest Laboratory Medicine WA, Australia; 1 case with DLCN score>=6 from Color Health, Inc, USA).

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Human Genome Sequencing Center Clinical Lab, Baylor College of Medicine | May 11, 2017 | The c.1444G>A (p.Asp482Asn) variant in the LDLR gene has been reported in patients with hypercholesterolemia [PMID 8535447, 23375686, 20236128, 16159606, 21326404; legacy name 461]. This variant was observed in five heterozygous individuals in the ExAC population database (http://exac.broadinstitute.org/variant/19-11224296-G-A). Aspartate at position 482 of the LDLR protein is conserved in mammals and while not clinically validated, computer-based algorithms (SIFT and Polyphen-2) predict this p.Asp482Asn change to be deleterious. This c.1444G>A (p.Asp482Asn) variant is thus classified as likely pathogenic. - |

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Jan 22, 2024 | This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 482 of the LDLR protein (p.Asp482Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs139624145, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 8535447, 16389549, 20236128, 21310417, 23375686). This variant is also known as p.Asp461Asn. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 161284). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Asp482 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 16389549, 20236128, 21310417). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Human Genome Sequencing Center Clinical Lab, Baylor College of Medicine | May 12, 2021 | The c.1444G>A (p.Asp482Asn) variant in LDLR gene, that encodes for low density lipoprotein receptor, has been identified in numerous unrelated individuals (>35) who fulfill the clinical criteria of Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) (PMID: 8535447, 10559517, 16389549, 21310417, 20236128, 23375686, 16159606, 22698793, 15199436, 11857755). This variant has also been reported in homozygous/compound heterozygous states in individuals with severe FH (PMID: 30270091, 9026534). This variant was found to segregate with disease in both heterozygous state (PMID: 26036859) and compound heterozygous state (with severe FH, PMID: 9026534). In-silico computational prediction tools suggest that this variant may have deleterious effect on the protein function (REVEL score: 0.945). This variant is found to be rare (11/282680, 0.00003891) in the general population database (gnomAD) and interpreted as likely pathogenic/pathogenic by multiple submitters in the ClinVar database (ClinVar ID: 161284). Other amino acid substitutions at the same codon (p.Asp482Tyr, p.Asp482His, p.Asp482Gly) have been classified as likely pathogenic in ClinVar (ClinVar ID: 251845, 251844, 251846). Therefore, the c.1444G>A (p.Asp482Asn) variant in LDLR gene is classified as pathogenic. - |

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | Sep 05, 2018 | Variant summary: LDLR c.1444G>A (p.Asp482Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the LDLR class B repeat of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-05 in 277372 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in LDLR causing Familial Hypercholesterolemia (4e-05 vs 0.0013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1444G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (Bochmann_2001, Bunn_2002, Fouchier_2001, Graham_1999, Graham_2005, Martin_2016, Ward_1995). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven ClinVar submissions from other clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as likely pathogenic/pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health | Jun 07, 2023 | This missense variant (also known as p.Asp461Asn in the mature protein) replaces aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 482 in the LDLR type B repeat 2 of the EGF precursor homology domain of the LDLR protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have a deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This LDLR variant has been reported in over 40 heterozygous individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 8535447, 10559517, 15523646, 16389549, 21310417, 20236128, 23375686, 33740630, 34037665; Color internal data) and is a recurrent variant among Irish individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 15523646). This variant has also been observed in compound heterozygous state with a known pathogenic LDLR variant in two individuals affected with severe homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, a phenotype expected of having two deleterious LDLR variants (PMID: 30270091). It has been shown that this variant segregates with disease in three affected individuals in one family (PMID: 8535447). This variant has been identified in 11/282680 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Different variants affecting the same codon (p.Asp482Tyr, p.Asp482His and p.Asp482Gly), are considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 251845, 251844 and 251846), suggesting that aspartic acid at this position is important for LDLR protein function. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. - |

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Dec 26, 2023 | The p.D482N variant (also known as c.1444G>A), located in coding exon 10 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1444. The aspartic acid at codon 482 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration (also described as legacy p.D461N) has been identified in multiple individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Brænne I et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet., 2016 Feb;24:191-7; Webb JC et al. J. Lipid Res., 1996 Feb;37:368-81; Ward AJ et al. Hum. Mutat., 1995;6:254-6; Bochmann H et al. Hum. Mutat., 2001;17:76-7; Taylor A et al. Clin. Genet., 2010 Jun;77:572-80; Wang J et al. Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol., 2016 12;36:2439-2445; Laurie AD et al. Atheroscler Suppl, 2004 Dec;5:13-5; Ho CK et al. Scott Med J, 2012 Aug;57:148-51; Hooper AJ et al. Atherosclerosis, 2012 Oct;224:430-4). It has been reported to co-segregate with disease in one family (Brænne I et al. Eur J Hum Genet. 2016;24(2):191-7). One study has demonstrated <2% of normal LDL-R activity in an individual with this alteration and a 21 base pair deletion in exon 4 of LDLR (Webb JC et al. J Lipid Res. 1996;37(2):368-81). Another study has reported the p.D482N variant and a second LDLR variant (p.D266E, c.798T>A) in an individual with coronary heart disease (Bochmann H et al. Hum. Mutat., 2001;17:76-7). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. - |
