Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.2230C>T(p.Arg744*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000805 in 1,614,012 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 Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R744R) has been classified as Benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1 Pathogenic:3
This 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. -
- -
Null variant (nonsense) in gene LDLR, predicted to cause NMD. Loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease (gene has 996 reported pathogenic LOF variants). The exon affects 2 functional domains: UniProt protein LDLR_HUMAN region of interest 'Clustered O-linked oligosaccharides' and UniProt protein LDLR_HUMAN region of interest 'Disordered'. The exon contains 49 pathogenic variants. The truncated region contains 134 pathogenic variants (PVS1). Combined evidence strength is Very Strong (score = 10).Very Strong: ClinVar classifies this variant as Pathogenic, 2 stars (reviewed Jun '24, 6 submissions of which 2 are from high confidence submitters) (PP5). GnomAD genomes homozygous allele count = 0 is less than 2 for AD/AR gene LDLR, good gnomAD genomes coverage = 29.9.GnomAD exomes homozygous allele count = 0 is less than 2 for AD/AR gene LDLR, good gnomAD exomes coverage = 43.9 (PM2). We observed this variant in a 60-year-old man patient with Hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1 and LDL cholesterol level QTL2. -
Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:3
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). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This 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 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 at least five individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 29353225, 31993549, 33418990, 35274909; ClinVar SCV000583934.1). 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
The 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. -
