Variant of Uncertain Significance due to insufficient evidence: This missense variant (also known as p.Gly495Ser in the mature protein) is located in LDLR type B repeat 3 of EGF precursor homology domain of the LDLR protein. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses are inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on the protein function. Computational splicing tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional assays have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in a few individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20809525, 22883975, 29399563). This variant has also been identified in 24/277174 chromosomes (14/24954 African chromosomes) in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Available evidence is insufficient to determine the pathogenicity of this variant conclusively. -

The LDLR c.1546G>A (p.Gly516Ser) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals affected with hypercholesterolemia (PMIDs: 33303402 (2021), 31491741 (2019), 29399563 (2018), 22883975 (2012), 20809525 (2010)), early onset myocardial infarction (PMID: 25487149 (2015)), and healthy individuals (PMID: 25487149 (2015)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00056 (14/24954 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
Familial hypercholesterolemia Uncertain:2
This missense variant (also known as p.Gly495Ser in the mature protein) replaces glycine with serine at codon 516 of the LDLR protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20809525, 22883975, 29399563, 31491741) and in an individual affected with acute coronary syndrome (PMID: 34526433). This variant has been identified in 24/282778 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 516 of the LDLR protein (p.Gly516Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs141673997, gnomAD 0.06%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia and myocardial infarction (PMID: 20809525, 22883975, 25487149, 29399563). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 226359). 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. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Variant summary: LDLR c.1546G>A (p.Gly516Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.2e-05 in 251390 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in LDLR causing Familial Hypercholesterolemia (7.2e-05 vs 0.0013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.1546G>A has been reported in the literature in several individuals affected with Hypercholesterolemia (e.g., Marduel_2010, Hori_2019, Kim_2018, Hooper_2012) and at least two individuals with myocardial infarction (e.g., Do_2015), as well as healthy controls (e.g., Do_2015). Due to the lack of co-segregation data available for these affected individuals, these report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Familial Hypercholesterolemia. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 25487149, 22883975, 31491741, 29399563, 20809525). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 226359). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
The p.G516S variant (also known as c.1546G>A), located in coding exon 10 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1546. The glycine at codon 516 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been reported in hypercholesterolemia and early onset myocardial infarction cohorts; however, it was also detected in two controls and clinical details were limited in most cases (Marduel M et al. Hum. Mutat., 2010 Nov;31:E1811-24; Hooper AJ et al. Atherosclerosis, 2012 Oct;224:430-4; Do R et al. Nature, 2015 Feb;518:102-6; Kim HN et al. Chonnam Med J, 2018 Jan;54:31-35). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
