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]

Submissions by phenotype

Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJul 17, 2023This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 29353225). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 430795). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg744*) 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). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthMar 21, 2023This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 15 of the LDLR gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 29353225, 35274909). This variant has been identified in 1/251326 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of LDLR function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 18, 2023The p.R744* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2230C>T), located in coding exon 15 of the LDLR gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2230. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 15. This variant has been detected in individuals from familial hypercholesterolemia cohorts, and has been reported to segregate with disease in a family (Garg A et al. J Endocr Soc, 2020 Jan;4:bvz015; Meshkov A et al. Genes (Basel), 2021 Jan;12; Leren TP et al. Atherosclerosis, 2021 Apr;322:61-66). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
