Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP2 PP5_Moderate

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):​c.1811delGinsCT​(p.Arg604ThrfsTer12) variant causes a frameshift, missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R604R) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the gene, where a lot of missense mutations are associated with disease in ClinVar. The gene has 678 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 92 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.12407 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.59338 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1, homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
• PP5: Variant 19-11116964-G-CT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11116964-G-CT is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 456651.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

p.Arg604Thrfs*12 (c.1811delinsCT) in the LDLR gene (NM_000527.4) - likely pathogenic Given that this variant results in a premature translational stop signal, a known mechanism of disease, we consider this variant likely pathogenic and feel it is suitable for assessing risk in healthy relatives ("predictive genetic testing"). This variant has not been reported in ClinVar or the medical literature. However, truncating variation in the LDL receptor gene is a known mechanism of disease (Marduel et al, 2010). There is no variation at codon 604 listed in the Genome Aggregation Consortium Dataset (gnomAD; http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/), which currently includes variant calls on >140,000 unrelated individuals of African, Asian, European, Latino, and Ashkenazi descent. The average coverage at that site in gnomAD is 96x in exomes and 31x in genomes. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg604Thrfs*12) in the LDLR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525, 28645073). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LDLR-related conditions. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
