Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1637G>A(p.Gly546Asp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,618 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 (★★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely benign in UniProt. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G546R) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:2
For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Gly546 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17539906, 22859806). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects LDLR protein function (PMID: 2088165). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 29399563, 2088165, 31345425, 30293936, 11810272, 29974534, 25461735, 24075752, Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3697). This variant is also described as G525D or FH Saint Omer in the literature. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine with aspartic acid at codon 546 of the LDLR protein (p.Gly546Asp). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glycine and aspartic acid. -
Variant summary: LDLR c.1637G>A (p.Gly546Asp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in one of the class B repeats (IPR000033) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251462 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant c.1637G>A (also known as FH Saint Omer and G525D) has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals (including at least one homozygote) who were affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (e.g. Hobbs_1992, Klancar_2015, Martin-Campos_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Publications also reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated that the variant causes the retention of the protein in the endoplasmic reticulum, with eventual ubiquitination and degradation, predicted to result in the complete lack of the LDL receptor at the cell surface (Hobbs_1990, Zelcer_2009). Four 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 (2x) / likely pathogenic (2x). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
