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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	curation	Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard	Jan 22, 2020	The p.Asp492Asn (p.Asp471Asn) variant in LDLR has been reported in at least 30 individuals (including 13 Italian, 3 Chinese, 2 Norwegian, 2 Taiwanese, 1 Czech, and 1 Saudi Arabian individuals) with Familial Hypercholesterolemia, segregated with disease in up to 14 affected relatives from up to 7 families (PMID: 25647241, 26748104, 29172679, 11737238, 17094996, 23375686, 11005141, 25936317, 15199436, 17539906, 20538126, 9763532, 21310417, 12436241, 19446849; DOI: 10.2217/clp.14.6), and has been identified in 0.01087% (2/18394) of East Asian chromosomes and 0.003518% (4/113704) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs373646964). Please note that for diseases with clinical variability, or reduced penetrance, pathogenic variants may be present at a low frequency in the general population. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. The phenotype of a homozygous individual with this variant is highly specific for Familial Hypercholesterolemia based on xanthomas and family history consistent with disease (DOI: 10.2217/clp.14.6). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia in an autosomal dominant manner based on multiple reports in individuals with Familial Hypercholesterolemia and cosegregation with disease. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS4, PP1_Moderate, PP3, PP4 (Richards 2015). -

This variant was also reported in a patient presenting with a total cholesterol level of 23 mmol/L and xanthomas [PMID 25936317]; this patient also carried a second allele (p.Gly592Glu), which is classified as pathogenic by our laboratory . This variant was further detected in a patient from a cohort of 2,078 patients from Italy [PMID 23375686]; this patient also carried a p.Cys698Trp variant, classified as a variant of unknown significance by our laboratory at this time. Additional variants affecting the same amino acid at position 492 (p.Asp492Gly and p.Asp492His) have been reported in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia [PMID 16250003, 10208479].This variant was reported in 2 heterozygous individuals in the ExAC database (http://exac.broadinstitute.org/variant/19-11224326-G-A). Asparagine at amino acid position 492 of the LDLR protein is highly conserved in mammals. While not validated for clinical use, the computer-based algorithms predict this p.Asp492Asn change to be deleterious. This variant is thus classified as likely pathogenic. -

Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:5

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 08, 2024	This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 492 of the LDLR protein (p.Asp492Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs373646964, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia and myocardial infarction (PMID: 9763532, 10230472, 11005141, 20236128, 22698793, 23375686, 25487149, 25647241, 25936317, 27680772). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as Asp471Asn and Graz-1. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 161285). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on LDLR function (PMID: 25647241). This variant disrupts the p.Asp492 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with LDLR-related conditions (PMID: 10208479, 16250003), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	research	Laboratory of Molecular Genetics, National Medical Research Center for Therapy and Preventive Medicine	Jul 18, 2024	Based on the ACMG/AMP 2015 guidelines (Richards 2015), p.Asp492Asn variant has the following pathogenicity criteria: PM1- located in the EGF-precursor homology domain: YWTD repeat (Galicia-Garcia 2020, Jeon 2001); PM2 - detected in control samples of gnomAD v4.1.0 with a frequency of 0.0006196%; PM5 - missense variant at the same codon as a variant classified as pathogenic (c.1474G>C, p.Asp492His (ClinVar ID 251864)) or likely pathogenic (c.1475A>G, p.Asp492Gly (ClinVar ID 251865)) and predicts a different amino acid change; PP1_Strong - segregated with FH in 6 relativities in 1 family (4 - 1st degree relatives and 2 - 2nd degree relatives) (Faiz 2014); PP3; PP4-registered in patients with FH. According to the ClinGen guidelines for LDLR variant classification (Chora 2022), PS4 - variant has been found in ≥10 unrelated FH cases, including 1 FH case in Russia (Meshkov 2021); PM2 - has a PopMax MAF ≤ 0.0002 (0.02%) in gnomAD (0.0006196% v4.1.0 gnomAD); PM5 - missense variant at the same codon as a variant classified as pathogenic (c.1474G>C, p.Asp492His (ClinVar ID 251864)) and predicts a different amino acid change; PP1_Strong -segregates with phenotype in 6 informative meioses in 1 family (Faiz 2014); PP3 - REVEL score 0.918 (Liu 2011, Liu 2020); PP4 - identified in 1 proband with FH based on DLCN-criteria (11 points) (data from the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics, Moscow, Russia (Meshkov 2021)). Based on a combination of criteria, this variant is pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Feb 01, 2023	This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 492 in the third LDLR type B repeat of the EGF precursor homology domain of the LDLR protein. This variant is also known as p.Asp471Asn in the mature protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). A functional study has shown that this variant results in the partially reduced levels of LDLR protein expression at the cell surface, reduced LDL binding, and a defect in LDLR protein recycling (PMID: 35568682). Another study has suggested no to little impact of this variant on LDL uptake (PMID: 25647241). This variant has been observed in over twenty heterozygous individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 9763532, 11737238, 12436241, 15199436, 15823288, 17539906, 19318025, 19446849, 20538126, 21310417, 22698793, 25936317, 35249492; Color data) and in two biallelic individuals with severe phenotype (PMID: 25936317, 30592178). This variant has been shown segregate with disease in a family study (PMID: 25936317). This variant has been identified in 6/251420 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Different missense variants occurring at the same position, p.Asp492His and p.Asp492Gly, are known to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 251864, 251865). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jun 05, 2017	Variant summary: The LDLR c.1474G>A (p.Asp492Asn) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 4/5 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 2/121480 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000165, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic LDLR variant (0.0012508). This variant has been reported in multiple affected FH patients including heterozygous patients and compound heterozygous patients (Mak_1998, Chiou_2010, Bertolini_2013, Blaha_2015). Variant was shown to segregate with disease in at least one of the reported families (Blaha_2015). Variants involving nearby nucleotides such as c.1474G>C, c.1474delG, c.1475A>G, etc, have been reported in affected individuals suggesting variant of interest is located in a mutiaotn hotspot. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as likely pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The p.D492N pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1474G>A), located in coding exon 10 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1474. The aspartic acid at codon 492 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in the homozygous state in a case with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), corneal arcus, xanthelasmata, and tendon xanthomas; six heterozygous family members also had elevated cholesterol levels and other clinical symptoms (Faiz F et al. Clin Lipidol., 2014 April; 9:163-170). In addition, compound heterozygotes with this alteration demonstrated clinical symptoms of FH (Blaha M et al. Atheroscler Suppl, 2015 May;18:134-9; Bertolini S et al. Atherosclerosis, 2013 Apr;227:342-8). This alteration, historically known as D471N, has been reported in several FH and myocardial infarction (MI) cohorts (Mak YT et al. Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol., 1998 Oct;18:1600-5; Chiou KR et al. Am. J. Cardiol., 2010 Jun;105:1752-8; Tichý L et al. Atherosclerosis, 2012 Aug;223:401-8; Do R et al. Nature, 2015 Feb;518:102-6). The variant was reported in an individual with early-onset MI and CAD with reportedly normal LDL level; however, details were limited. The associated functional study failed to show negative effects for the variant in vitro, but the physiological relevance of the assay results are unclear (Thormaehlen AS et al. PLoS Genet., 2015 Feb;11:e1004855). Another in vitro functional study reported this variant to result in reduced protein expression, activity, and recycling compared to wild type (Galicia-Garcia U et al. Sci Rep. 2020 02;10(1):1727). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
