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]

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 118 of the LDLR protein (p.Asp118Asn). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 32715071, 36229376; internal data). Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this LDLR variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 363,995 individuals referred to our laboratory for LDLR testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 237873). 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 not expected to disrupt LDLR protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Asp118 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11317362, 17196209, 20045108, 23375686). 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. -

The p.D118N variant (also known as c.352G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 352. The aspartic acid at codon 118 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. Another alteration affecting the same amino acid, p.D118Y (c.352G>T), has been reported in association with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Bertolini S et al. Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol., 1999 Feb;19:408-18). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species, and asparagine is the reference amino acid in other vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
