This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR): c.1567G>A (p.Val523Met) variant is classified as Pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying ACMG/AMP evidence codes PS4, PP1_Strong, PM2, PM3, PS3_Moderate, PP3 and PP4 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (specification version 1.2) on 27 January 2023. The supporting evidence is as follows: PM2: PopMax MAF = 0.00003266 (0.003%) in East Asian (gnomAD v2.1.1). PP3: REVEL = 0.917. PS3_Moderate: Functional studies: PMID 1301956 (Hobbs et al., 1992), Level 2 assay using homozygous patients' fibroblasts, 125I-LDL assays - 15-30% LDLR activity (but all cycle was tested) // PMID 9974426 (Bertolini et al., 1999), Level 2 assay using homozygous patient fibroblast, 125I-LDL assays - 25% LDLR activity, (mention of testing LDL binding, internalization, and degradation) // PMID 21865347 (Romano et al., 2011), Level 3 assays using heterozygous patients' Epstein-Barr virus transformed lymphocytes and FACS assays - 30-40% LDLR activity. // PMID 25647241 (Thormaehlen et al., 2015), functional studies using HeLa cells and alternative microscopy assay showed that the LDLR activity is decreased compared to WT and was considered as "disruptive" ------ Overall, functional studies (PMID 1301956, 9974426, 21865347) show an activity below 70% of wild-type, consistent with damaging effect and PS3 is met.PS4, PP4: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in at least 22 unrelated cases, 2 fulfilling Simon-Broome criteria (GeneDx) and 20 with DLCN score >=6 (Service de Biochimie et de Biologie Moléculaire, France; Research Lab of Molecular Genetics of Lipid Metabolism - Prof. M.Arca Department of Translational and Precision Medicine, Italy; Robarts Research Institute, Canada). PP1_Strong: variant segregates with FH phenotype in 14 informative meioses in 8 families from different labs (Service de Biochimie et de Biologie Moléculaire, France; Laboratory of Genetics and Molecular Cardiology, Brazil; Research Lab of Molecular Genetics of Lipid Metabolism - Prof. M.Arca Department of Translational and Precision Medicine, Italy): 11 affected family members have the variant and 3 non-affected family members do not have the variant. PM3: 1 case reported from Service de Biochimie et de Biologie Moléculaire, France (homozygous and LDL-cholesterol 12 mmol/L at 4 years old).

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]
MIR6886 (HGNC:50121): (microRNA 6886) microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the Drosha ribonuclease III enzyme to produce an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cleaved by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most commonly results in translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. The RefSeq represents the predicted microRNA stem-loop. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
