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]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthFeb 05, 2024This missense variant (also known as p.Gly314Ser in the mature protein and as FH Paris-6) replaces glycine with serine at codon 335 in the EGF precursor homology domain of the LDLR protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have a deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have shown the mutant protein to exhibit normal LDLR activity in an in vitro high throughput cell-based assay (PMID: 25647241) and mildly reduced activity (30-40% of normal activity) in ex vivo assays using cells from a compound heterozygous carrier (PMID: 1301956). This LDLR variant has been reported in over 10 heterozygous individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 1301956, 11668627, 15556094, 23375686, 27765764, 28008010, 28502510, 33740630, 34297352). This variant has also been observed in compound heterozygous state with a known pathogenic LDLR variant in two related individuals affected with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, a phenotype expected of having two deleterious LDLR variants (PMID: 27578127). This variant has been identified in 8/282406 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:4Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submittercurationBroad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and HarvardJan 22, 2020The p.Gly335Ser variant in LDLR has been reported in at least 6 individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 1301956, 11668627, 15556094, 27765764, 27578127, 28008010, 2852510) and has been identified in 0.005431% (7/128886) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes and 0.005016% (1/19938) of East Asian chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs544453230). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (PMID: 183105) as likely benign by Centre de Genetique Moleculaire et Chromosomique, as a VUS by the Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, as likely pathogenic by the British Heart Foundation, Roberts Research Institute, Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge, Iberoamerican FH Network, Invitae, and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and as Pathogenic by U4M - Lille University & CHRU Lille. In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Gly335Ser variant may not impact protein function (PMID: 25647241). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. 4 affected individuals with this variant have an alternative molecular basis for familial hypercholesterolemia , suggesting that this variant may not be pathogenic (PMID: 27578127). In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Gly335Arg variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS4_moderate, PP3, BP5, BS3_supporting (Richards 2015). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 29, 2023This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 335 of the LDLR protein (p.Gly335Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs544453230, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 1301956, 11668627, 15556094, 23375686, 27765764, 28502510). This variant is also known as Gly314Ser. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 183105). 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: 1301956, 25647241). This variant disrupts the p.Gly335 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with LDLR-related conditions (PMID: 10735632), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This variant is also known as p.Gly314Ser in the mature protein, and as and as FH Paris-6 in the literature. Computational prediction tools indicate that this variant has a deleterious impact on protein structure and function. Functional studies have shown the mutant protein to exhibits normal LDLR activity in an in vitro high throughput cell-based assay (PMID: 25647241) and mildly reduced activity (30-40% of normal activity) in ex vivo assays using cells from a compound heterozygous carrier individual (PMID: 1301956).

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingRady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, Rady Children's Hospital San DiegoSep 24, 2019This variant has been previously reported as a heterozygous change in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 1301956, 23375686). It is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.0028% (8/282,406) and thus is presumed to be rare. The c.1003G>A (p.Gly335Ser) variant affects a highly conserved amino acid and is predicted by multiple in silico tools to have a deleterious effect on protein function. Based on the available evidence, the c.1003G>A (p.Gly335Ser) variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineMar 22, 2021The p.Gly335Ser variant in LDLR (also described as p.Glu314Ser in the literature) has been reported in at least 14 individuals with hypercholesterolemia: in at least 11 heterozygotes, 1 double heterozygote who also had a pathogenic variant in the PCSK9 gene, and in the compound heterozygous state with another pathogenic LDLR variant in a set of identical twins with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH; Hobbs 1992 PMID: 1301956, Wang 2001 PMID: 11668627, Laurie 2004 PMID: 15556094, Bertolini 2013 PMID: 23375686, Retterer 2015 PMID: 26633542, Abul-Husn 2016 PMID: 28008010, Rabacchi 2016 PMID: 27578127, Wang 2015 PMID: 27765764, Banares 2017 PMID: 28502510, Clinvar Variation ID 183105). It has also been identified in 2 individuals with myocardial infarction (Do 2015 PMID: 25487149, Thomaehlen 2015 PMID: 25647241). In the family with HoFH, this variant segregated with disease (in the compound heterozygous state) in 2 other affected siblings and in the heterozygous state in 2 other affected relatives (Rabacchi 2016 PMID: 27578127). Functional studies provide conflicting evidence on the impact of this variant on the protein (Hobbs 1992 PMID: 1301956, Thormaehlen 2015 PMID: 25647241). Additionally, this variant has been identified in 0.005% (7/128886) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This frequency is low enough to be consistent with the frequency of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in the general population. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis are consistent with pathogenicity. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant FH. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3, PS4_Moderate, PP1, PP3, PM2_Supporting. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsNov 09, 2018The p.G335S variant (also known as c.1003G>A), located in coding exon 7 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1003. The glycine at codon 335 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration (legacy nomenclature G314S) has been reported in multiple familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) cohorts, often with limited clinical information and sometimes in the compound heterozygous state with other LDLR variants (Hobbs HH et al. Hum. Mutat., 1992;1:445-66; Laurie AD et al. Atheroscler Suppl, 2004 Dec;5:13-5; Bertolini S et al. Atherosclerosis, 2013 Apr;227:342-8; Retterer K et al. Genet. Med., 2016 07;18:696-704; Wang J et al. Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol., 2016 12;36:2439-2445; Bañares VG et al. J Clin Lipidol Mar;11:524-531; Martín-Campos JM et al. J Clin Lipidol, 2018 Sep;S1933-2874(18)30374-X). This variant has also been detected in unaffected relatives and control individuals (Abul-Husn NS et al. Science, 2016 Dec;354:aaf7000; Rabacchi C et al. J Clin Lipidol May;10:944-952.e1; Thormaehlen AS et al. PLoS Genet., 2015 Feb;11:e1004855). Internal structural analysis suggests that this variant is anticipated to disrupt a region of known function (Rudenko G et al. Science, 2002 Dec;298(5602):2353-8; Lo P et al. EMBO Rep, 2011 Dec;12(12):1300-5). 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 is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
