This missense variant replaces asparagine with histidine at codon 564 in the LDLR type B repeat 4 of the EGF precursor homology domain of the LDLR protein. Computational prediction tools indicate that this variant has a deleterious impact on protein structure and function. This variant has been reported to occur in cis with LDLR p.Val800_Leu802 variant in numerous individuals with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 9143924, 9143924, 10090484, 12442279, 12442279, 15241806, 21475731, 24632281, 27784735, 27919364, 28475941, 30795984, 32143996, 33740630, 34387892). The double mutant allele is reported as a founder mutation associated with mild phenotype in the Dutch population (PMID: 21475731) and is also common among individuals of Spanish descent (PMID: 2463228). The double mutant allele has been shown to segregate with disease in multiple families (PMID: 9143924, 12442279). This p.Asn564His variant has been identified in 2/251416 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). One functional study showed that p.Asn564His or p.Val800_Leu802 variant, individually, did not alter LDLR function, while a mutant allele carrying both variants resulted in significantly reduced LDLR cell surface expression and function (PMID: 9143924), suggesting that the two variants may act in synergy to adversely affect LDLR function (PMID: 9143924). However, different missense variants occurring at codon 564 (p.Asn564Ser and p.Asn564Asp) are reported as disease-causing, indicating the functional and clinical importance of p.Asn564 residue (ClinVar variation ID: 224616, 251973). Based on the available evidence, we conclude that the hypercholesterolemia phenotype observed in individuals carrying the double mutant allele may be attributable to the p.Asn564His variant, while the role of p.Val800_Leu802 variant in disease remains unclear. Therefore, this p.Asn564His variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Has been as reported as p.(N646H) or p.(N543H) (due to alternate nomenclature) in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Jensen et al., 1997; Futema et al., 2012; Dron et al., 2020; Benedek et al., 2021; Leren et al., 2021; Castillo et al., 2022; Marco-Benedi et al., 2022; Sustar et al., 2022); Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Functional studies suggest p.(N564H) in cis with LDLR p.(V800_L802del) results in an affect on the enzyme function (Jensen et al., 1997; Castillo et al., 2002).; In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 12442279, 18325082, 9147888, 22390909, 7550239, 10090484, 9259195, 15199436, 17765246, 21722902, 9143924, 27919364, 28475941, 30312929, 24987033, 26490271, 35913489, 34456049, 33955087, 33740630, 30293936, 32770674, 32719484, 27044878, 31447099, 10790219, 32041611, 23054246) -

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 564 of the LDLR protein (p.Asn564His). This variant is present in population databases (rs397509365, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant has been observed in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 7550239, 17765246, 23054246, 9147888, 9143924, 12442279, 10090484). This variant is frequently in cis with p.Val800_Leu802del and may represent a single allele. This variant is also known as N543H. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 226365). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this variant has a mild impact on LDLR protein function. However, when expressed with p.Val800_Leu802del in the same cDNA, LDLR receptor function was greatly reduced (PMID: 9143924). This variant disrupts the p.Asn564 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 18718593, 20145306, 20538126, 21376320). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: LDLR c.1690A>C (p.Asn564His) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251416 control chromosomes (i.e. 2 alleles in the European (non-Finnish) subpopulation) in the gnomAD database (v2.1 dataset). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.1690A>C (aka. N543H), has been reported in the literature in several individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (e.g. Jensen_1996, Castillo_2002, Fouchier_2001, Umans-Eckenhausen_2002, Kusters_2011, Sjouke_2016, Martin-Campos_2018, Leren_2021), however in almost all of these cases the variant reportedly occurred together with c.2397_2405delCGTCTTCCT (p.Val800_Leu802del) on the same chromosome (i.e. in cis), as a complex allele. These reports therefore do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant in isolation with Familial Hypercholesterolemia. Publications also reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated that when this variant was expressed in isolation, it had a mild effect on LDLR function (~75-85% activity of the normal; Jensen_1996), however, when it was part of the complex allele, i.e. occurring together with p.Val800_Leu802del in the same protein, the LDLR receptor function was markedly reduced (to ~20-25% of the normal; Jensen_1996, Castillo_2002). Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as VUS (n=2), likely pathogenic (n=2), or pathogenic (n=4). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
The p.N564H variant (also known as c.1690A>C), located in coding exon 11 of the LDLR gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 1690. The asparagine at codon 564 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration, also described in the literature as p.N543H, has been reported in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) cohorts and is often described on the same chromosome, or in cis, with another alteration, p.V800_L802del (Górski B et al. Hum Genet, 1998 May;102:562-5; Tricot-Guerber F et al. Hum Mutat, 1995;6:87-8; Lombardi P et al. Clin Genet, 1996 Dec;50:525-6; Day IN et al. Hum Mutat, 1997;10:116-27; Jensen HK et al. Atherosclerosis, 1999 Oct;146:337-44; Martín-Campos JM et al. J Clin Lipidol Sep;12:1452-1462). Functional studies suggest this alteration has a mild impact on function, though the impact may be greater when expressed with p.V800_L802del (Jensen HK et al. Hum Mutat, 1997;9:437-44). Another alteration at the same codon, p.N465S (c.1691A>G), has been described in association with FH (Górski B et al. Hum Genet, 1998 May;102:562-5. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence for this variant alone is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
