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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health	Mar 25, 2024	This missense variant changes the last nucleotide c.G of exon 16 of the LDLR gene and is predicted to impair RNA splicing at the intron 16 splice donor site. This variant is also known as p.Val776Met in the mature protein. RNA studies from carrier individuals have shown that this variant causes skipping of exon 16 (PMID: 34497632), and leads to absence of wild-type transcript (PMID: 9763532). In vitro functional studies have shown that this variant causes a reduction in LDLR internalization and expression at the cellular membrane (PMID: 34497632). This variant has been reported in over 20 heterozygous individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 7649549, 9763532, 18718593, 19446849, 20145306, 22698793, 22859806, 23375686, 27816806, 33418990, 33794673, 34497632). This variant has also been observed in homozygous state in two individuals affected with severe homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 33093846, 36229885). It has been shown that this variant segregates with disease in multiple affected individuals across two families (PMID: 7649549, 34497632). This variant has been identified in 2/251360 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different variant affecting the same codon, c.2389G>T (p.Val797Leu), is considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 252298), suggesting that valine at this position is important for LDLR protein function. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Mar 08, 2021	This variant has been reported in multiple index patients with hypercholesterolemia in the published literature (PMID: 31491741 (2019), 23375686 (2013), 22698793 (2012), 20538126 (2010), 20145306 (2010), 18718593 (2009)). One family study indicated the variant strongly segregated with disease (PMID: 7649549 (1995)). In addition, this variant is located at an exon-intron junction and an RT-PCR study suggests the variant may affect LDLR mRNA splicing (PMID: 9763532 (1998)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	May 13, 2018	Pathogenic variant based on current evidence: This variant (also known as p.Val776Met in the mature protein) changes the last nucleotide in exon 16 of the LDLR mRNA (c.2389G>A). This conserved G at the last nucleotide position of an exon is known to play an important role in splicing. Although detailed splice analysis has not been performed for this variant, one study has indicated that this variant causes splicing defect and leads to absent of transcript (PMID: 9763532). A different variant at the same position (c.2389G>T) has been shown to cause an in-frame skipping of exon 16 that encodes the transmembrane domain of the LDLR protein. This demonstrates the importance of the c.2389G nucleotide in the correct splicing at the exon 16-intron 16 splice region. While this variant is rare in the general population (2/246210 chromosomes in the Genome Aggregation Database, gnomAD), it has been reported in 10+ unrelated individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 18718593, 19446849, 20145306, 22698793, 23375686). In addition, this variant has been shown to segregate with disease in 10 members from a Cuban family with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 7649549). Based on available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Jun 21, 2017	Variant summary: The LDLR c.2389G>A (p.Val797Met) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide located at the last nucleotide of exon 16. 2/4 in silico tools predict benign outcome for this variant but 5/5 splice prediction tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing. A reverse transcriptionPCR study indicated that it is likely to cause a donor site splicing error (Mak_1998). This variant was found in 1/121374 control chromosomes (including ExAC) at a frequency of 0.0000082, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic LDLR variant (0.0012508). This variant has been found in several FH patients including evidence of cosegregation with disease. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases have classified this variant as likely pathogenic/pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 15, 2024	This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 797 of the LDLR protein (p.Val797Met). This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 16, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (rs750518671, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 7649549, 9763532, 19446849, 20145306, 22698793, 22859806, 23375686). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 226393). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant¬†is likely to be tolerated. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Val797Met variant in LDLR has been reported in the heterozygous, homozygous, or compound heterozygous state in >10 individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), segregating with disease in at least 15 affected relatives from 4 families (Pereira, 1995, Mak 1998, Tichy 2012, Bertolini 2013, Setia 2016, Leren 2004). This variant has also been reported in Clinvar (Variation ID 226393). This variant has been identified in 1/30782 South Asian chromosomes by the genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs750518671). This variant is located in the last base of the exon, which is part of the 5’ splice region and has been shown to cause altered splicing leading to absent protein (Mak 1998). Heterozygous loss of function of the LDLR gene is an established disease mechanism in FH. In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic for familial hypercholesterolemia in an autosomal dominant manner based upon presence in affected individuals, segregation studies, low frequency in the general population and the demonstrated impact to the protein. -

The c.2389G>A pathogenic mutation (also known as p.V797M), located in coding exon 16 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2389. The amino acid change results in valine to methionine at codon 797, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This change occurs in the last base pair of coding exon 16, which makes it likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. This alteration (also referred to as p.V776M) has been reported in a number of individuals of different origins with familial hypercholesterolemia (Pereira E et al. Hum. Genet., 1995 Sep;96:319-22; Mak YT et al. Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol., 1998 Oct;18:1600-5; Fouchier SW et al. Hum. Genet., 2001 Dec;109:602-15; Leren TP et al. Semin Vasc Med, 2004 Feb;4:75-85; Robles-Osorio L et al. Arch. Med. Res., 2006 Jan;37:102-8; Bourbon M et al. Atherosclerosis, 2008 Feb;196:633-42; Alonso R et al. Clin. Biochem., 2009 Jun;42:899-903; Guardamagna O et al. J. Pediatr., 2009 Aug;155:199-204.e2; Chmara M et al. J. Appl. Genet., 2010;51:95-106; Chiou KR et al. Am. J. Cardiol., 2010 Jun;105:1752-8; Setia N et al. Atherosclerosis, 2016 Dec;255:31-36; Durst R et al. Atherosclerosis, 2017 Feb;257:55-63). In addition, this alteration segregated with the disease in a multi-generation family (Pereira E et al. Hum. Genet., 1995 Sep;96:319-22). One study suggested that this alteration would affect the splicing as only the wild type allele was detected by the reverse transcription (Mak YT et al. Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol., 1998 Oct;18:1600-5). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
