Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PS4PS3_SupportingPVS1PM2PP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.296C>G (p.Ser99Ter) variant is classified as Pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes (PVS1, PS4, PM2, PP4 and PS3_Supporting) as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.03.17.21252755).The supporting evidence is as follows: PVS1 - Variant is nonsense, causing a stop at codon 99. It is upstream of amino acid 830, so PVS1 is Met.PS4 - Variant meets PM2. Identified in over 20 unrelated clinical FH cases (PMID:7718019).PM2 - PopMax MAF = 0.000008791 (0.0009%) in european non-finnish exomes (gnomAD v2.1.1). PP4 - Variant meets PM2. Identified in over 20 unrelated clinical FH cases (PMID:7718019). PS3_supporting - Level 3 assays: PMID 19148831: Epstein-Barr virus transformed lymphocytes from htz patients, FACS and RNA assays - results - ~60% gene expression, LDL-LDLR uptake and protein at cell surface ---- results are below 85% of wild-type, so PS3_supporting is Met LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA023685/MONDO:0007750/013

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]
