Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PS4_ModeratePM1PM2PP4PS3_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.542C>G (p.Pro181Arg) variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying ACMG/AMP evidence codes PM1, PM2, PS3_Moderate, PS4_Moderate and PP4 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (specification version 1.2) on 23 February 2024. The supporting evidence is as follows: PM2: PopMax MAF = 0.00005 (0.005%) in European (Non-Finnish) exomes+genomes (gnomAD v4.0.0). PM1: Variant meets PM2 and is a missense in exon 4. PS3_Moderate: Level 2 assay: PMID 21868016 (Garcia-Garcia A et al., 2011): COS-7 cells. Mature/precursor LDLR forms ratio ~60% ---- Overall LDLR biosynthesis is below 70% of wild-type activity. PS4_Moderate, PP4: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in at least 6 unrelated index cases who fulfill criteria for FH (1 case from PMID 16250003 (Fouchier SW et al., 2005); 2 cases with MedPed and Simon Broome criteria from Molecular Genetics Laboratory, Centre for Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplantation, Czech Republic, and PMID 22698793 (Tichý L et al., 2012); 2 cases meeting Simon Broome and DLCN criteria from Centre de Génétique Moléculaire et Chromosomique, Unité de génétique de l'Obésité et des Dyslipidémies, APHP.Sorbonne Université, Hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière, France; 1 case with DLCN score>=6 from Cardiovascular Genetics Laboratory, PathWest Laboratory Medicine WA, Australia).

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]
