Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 5P and 1B. PM2PM5PP4BP4
This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1414G>A (p.Asp472Asn) variant is classified as Uncertain significance - insufficient evidence for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying ACMG/AMP evidence codes PM2, PM5, PP4 and BP4 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (specification version 1.2) on 31 January 2025. The supporting evidence is as follows: PM2 - PopMax MAF = 0.0001120 (0.0112%) in Remaining exomes+genomes (gnomAD v4.1.0); PM5 - 1 other missense variant in the same codon: - NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1414G>T (p.Asp472Tyr) (ClinVar ID 183116) -Pathogenic by these guidelines. There is 1 variant in the same codon classified as Pathogenic by these guidelines; BP4 - REVEL = 0.318, it is below 0.50, splicing evaluation required. Functional data on splicing not available. A) not on limits. B) does not create AG. Variant is not predicted to alter splicing; PP4 - Variant meets PM2. Identified in at least 1 index case fulfilling Japanese Atherosclerosis Society criteria for FH from PMID 36229376, after alternative causes of high cholesterol were excluded.

Hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1 Uncertain:2
The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1414G>A (p.Asp472Asn) variant is classified as Uncertain significance - insufficient evidence for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying ACMG/AMP evidence codes PM2, PM5, PP4 and BP4 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (specification version 1.2) on 31 January 2025. The supporting evidence is as follows: PM2 - PopMax MAF = 0.0001120 (0.0112%) in Remaining exomes+genomes (gnomAD v4.1.0); PM5 - 1 other missense variant in the same codon: - NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1414G>T (p.Asp472Tyr) (ClinVar ID 183116) -Pathogenic by these guidelines. There is 1 variant in the same codon classified as Pathogenic by these guidelines; BP4 - REVEL = 0.318, it is below 0.50, splicing evaluation required. Functional data on splicing not available. A) not on limits. B) does not create AG. Variant is not predicted to alter splicing; PP4 - Variant meets PM2.

This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 472 of the LDLR protein. This variant is also known as p.Asp451Asn in the mature protein. Computational prediction tools indicate that this variant has a neutral impact on protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in two individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 35626767, 36329474) and in one individual affected with primary dyslipidemia (PMID: 29572815). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different variant affecting the same codon, p.Asp472Asn, is considered to be disease-causing (Clinvar variation ID: 183116), indicating that aspartic acid at this position is important for LDLR protein function. The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Variant summary: LDLR c.1414G>A (p.Asp472Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the LDLR class B repeat domain (IPR000033; InterPro) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251206 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1414G>A has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with hypercholesterolemia, and the authors of this study classified the variant as likely pathogenic, however no information was provided for independent evaluation (Marmontel_2018). Therefore, these data do not allow clear conclusions about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. A different missense affecting the same residue, c.1414G>T (p.Asp472Tyr), is classified as likely pathogenic by our laboratory. In addition, missense changes affecting nearby residues (e.g. Y465C, T467I, S470C, I473N, A475V) have been reported in individuals affected with hypercholesterolaemia (HGMD), suggesting that this protein region may be clinically significant. One other clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -
Cardiovascular phenotype Uncertain:1
The p.D472N variant (also known as c.1414G>A), located in coding exon 10 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1414. The aspartic acid at codon 472 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was reported in individuals from cohorts with features consistent with familial hypercholesterolemia (Marmontel O et al. Clin Genet. 2020 Dec;98(6):589-594; Gandhi GD et a. J Transl Med. 2022 Nov;20(1):502). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
