Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 3P and 1B. PM2PP4BP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.2389+7G>A variant is classified as Uncertain significance - insufficient evidence for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying ACMG/AMP evidence codes PM2, PP4 and BP4 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (specification version 1.2) on 20 February 2025. The supporting evidence is as follows: PM2: PopMax MAF = 0.0001501 (0.015%) in Admixed American exomes/genomes (gnomAD v4.1.0). BP4: No REVEL score, splicing evaluation required. Not on splicing limits and no published functional data on splicing found, so BP4 is met.PP4: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in at least 1 index case (1 case with possible FH by Simon Broome criteria from Centre de Génétique Moléculaire et Chromosomique, Unité de génétique de l'Obésité et des Dyslipidémies, France), after alternative causes of high cholesterol were excluded.

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]
