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

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -12 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.81).
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.0105 (1598/151722) while in subpopulation NFE AF= 0.0172 (1166/67930). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0163. There are 15 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 782 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position pass quality control queck.
BS2
High Homozygotes in GnomAd4 at 15 SD gene
