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]

Uncertain significance, reviewed by expert panelcurationClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Variant Curation Expert PanelMar 20, 2023NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1836C>A (p.Ala612=) variant is classified as Uncertain significance - conflicting evidence for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence code PM2, BP4 and BP7 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gim.2021.09.012). The supporting evidence is as follows: PM2 - PopMax MAF = 0.00015 (0.015%) in East Asian exomes and genomes (gnomAD v2.1.1). Frequency is higher in "other" population exomes and genomes but number of allele is below 10000 BP4 - No REVEL, splicing evaluation required. Functional data on splicing not available. - Variant is exonic and at least 50bp downstream from canonical acceptor site but it does not create GT. - There is a GT nearby. MES scores: variant cryptic = -16.35, wt cryptic = -12.61, canonical donor = 4.48. Ratio variant cryptic/wt cryptic: -16.35/-12.61 = 1.30 --- it is above 1.1 Ratio variant cryptic/canonical donor: -16.35/4.48 = -3.65 --- it is not above 0.9 Variant is not predicted to alter splicing. BP7 - Variant is synonymous and meets BP4. -
