Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PM1 PM4 PP3 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):​c.672_686delCAAATCTGACGAGGA​(p.Asp224_Glu228del) variant causes a disruptive inframe deletion change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★).

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]

ACMG classification

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 40 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 16 uncertain in NM_000527.5
• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_000527.5.
• PP3: No computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, but strongly conserved according to phyloP
• PP5: Variant 19-11105573-AAGGACAAATCTGACG-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11105573-AAGGACAAATCTGACG-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 441189.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This variant, c.672_686del, results in the deletion of 5 amino acid(s) of the LDLR protein (p.Asp224_Glu228del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the LDLR protein in which other variant(s) (p.Asp224Asn) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15576851, 19843101, 30876530). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 441189). This variant is also known as 670_684del D203_E207del. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 19827648, 30293936). -
