Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 21 ACMG points: 21P and 0B. PS3PM1PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):​c.502G>A​(p.Asp168Asn) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000359 in 1,613,910 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV003762076: Published functional studies demonstrate decreased receptor binding and LDL uptake compared to wild type protein (Etxebarria et al., 2015" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D168E) has been classified as Likely pathogenic. The gene LDLR is included in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry.

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]

PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV003762076: Published functional studies demonstrate decreased receptor binding and LDL uptake compared to wild type protein (Etxebarria et al., 2015; Thormaehlen et al., 2015); SCV004820173: Functional studies have shown that this variant causes a significant decrease in LDL binding and uptake, although effect is not as severe as null alleles (PMID: 25545329, 25647241).; SCV005880080: "Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product."; SCV006059822: A functional study conducted in non-human cells demonstrated that this variant affects the binding and uptake of LDL by the encoded receptor (PMID: 25545329).; SCV000627039: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects LDLR function (PMID: 25545329, 25647241).; SCV000909138: Functional studies have shown that this variant causes a significant decrease in LDL binding and uptake (PMID: 25545329, 25647241).; SCV001434984: Experimental study in the LDLR deficient cell line proved the negative functional impact of this variant and defective LDL binding (<70%). PMID: 25545329; SCV005900382: A functional study with limited validation assaying the binding and uptake capabilities of the LDL protein is supportive of a damaging effect on protein function (PMID: 25545329).; SCV000966934: "In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Asp168Asn variant may cause a decrease in LDL uptake and binding." PMID:25545329; SCV002642995: "In multiple assays testing LDLR function, this variant showed functionally abnormal results (Etxebarria A et al. Atherosclerosis. 2015 Feb;238(2):304-12; Thormaehlen AS et al. PLoS Genet. 2015;11(2):e1004855)."
