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]

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Not found in the total gnomAD dataset, and the data is high quality. Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene. The gain of a new splice site is predicted. Low nucleotide conservation. Statistically enriched in uncharacterized patients vs. unmatched population data. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Studies have shown that this variant is associated with activation of a cryptic splice site in intron 12, which introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 16159606). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. This sequence change falls in intron 12 of the LDLR gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the LDLR protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 16159606). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 226375). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
