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]

Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpSep 23, 2021Variant summary: LDLR c.11G>A (p.Trp4X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 248676 control chromosomes. c.11G>A has been widely reported in the literature in individuals affected with Autosomal dominant and recessive forms of Familial Hypercholesterolemia (example, Hobbs_1992, Martin-Campos_2018). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in <2% of normal LDL-receptor activity (Hobbs_1992). Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpMay 26, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 250973). This variant is also known as FH-Columbia-1 and W18X. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 1301956, 11668640). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp4*) 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 testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoAug 27, 2020This nonsense variant causes the premature termination of LDLR protein synthesis. It has been reported in multiple individuals with Familial hypercholesterolemia in the published literature (PMID: 30270082 (2018), 16314194 (2006), 11668640 (2001), 10206683 (1998), 1301956 (1992)). Therefore, the variant is classified as pathogenic. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 10, 2024The p.W4* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.11G>A), located in coding exon 1 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 11. This changes the amino acid from a tryptophan to a stop codon within coding exon 1. This variant (also referred to as FH Columbia-1 and Trp-18Term) and a different nucleotide substitution resulting in the same protein impact (c.12G>A, also known as FH Nanjing-1 and Trp-18Term) have been detected in multiple individuals from familial hypercholesterolemia cohorts in the heterozygous, homozygous and compound heterozygous states (Hobbs HH et al. Hum. Mutat., 1992;1:445-66; Sun XM et al. Arterioscler. Thromb., 1994 Jan;14:85-94; Cenarro A et al. Hum. Mutat., 1998;11:413; Robles-Osorio L et al. Arch. Med. Res., 2006 Jan;37:102-8; Tejedor MT et al. Mol. Genet. Genomics, 2010 Jun;283:565-74; Garcia-Garcia AB et al. Atherosclerosis. 2011 Oct;218(2):423-30 Olfson E et al. PLoS ONE, 2015 Sep;10:e0135193). 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. -
