Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 19 ACMG points: 19P and 0B. PS4_ModeratePP1_StrongPM3PM2PVS1PP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1176C>A (p.Cys392Ter) variant is classified as Pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes PVS1, PP1_Strong, PM2, PM3, PS4_Moderate and PP4 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gim.2021.09.012). The supporting evidence is as follows: PVS1 - variant is nonsense, causing a premature stop codon amino-terminal of amino acid 830 (NM_000527.5:p.Lys830), so PVS1 is met.PP1_strong - variant segregates with FH phenotype in:- 7 informative meiosis from 1 family from Cardiovascular Research Group,Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge: 4 relatives positive for variant with LDL-C >75th percentile, and 3 relatives negative for variant with LDL-C <50th percentile.- 1 informative meiosis from 1 family from Centre de Génétique Moléculaire et Chromosomique, Unité de génétique de l'Obésité et des Dyslipidémies (APHP.Sorbonne Université, Hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière): 1 relative positive for variant with LDL-C >75th percentile.- 11 informative meiosis from 1 family from PMID:8831933 (Langenhoven et al. 1996): 11 relatives are positive for the variant and have LDL-C >75th percentile (9 have >5.0mmol, 2 have 4.6 and 4.3mmol)Segregation was observed in 19 informative meiosis from 3 families, so PP1_Strong is met.PM2 - PopMax MAF = 0.00003267 (0.003%) in South asian exomes (gnomAD v2.1.1). It is below 0.02%, so PM2 is met.PM3 - variant meets PM2 and was identified in 1 index case who also carries NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1A>T (p.Met1Leu), confirmed in trans, who has LDL 17.3mmol/L from PMID:8831933 (Langenhoven et al. 1996 Aug 23;125(1):111-9. --- 2nd variant is classified as Pathogenic with these guidelines, so PM3 is met.PS4_moderate - variant meets PM2 and was identified in:- 1 index case who fulfills Simon-Broome criteria of possible FH from Cardiovascular Research Group,Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge, Portugal;- 1 index case with DLCN>=6 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;- 4 unrelated index cases, all with Dutch lipid clinic network >=6, from Robarts Research Institute, Canada;- 1 Index case (iii-4) with DLCN at least 8 (LDL-C 17.3mmol at 4yo with tendon xanthoma) from PMID:8831933 (Langenhoven et al. 1996), South Africa; - 1 index case with heterozygous FH per MEDPED criteria from PMID:11933210 (Salazar et al. 2002), Brazil;- at least 1 index case with definite FH ("definite heterozygous FH by cardiologists and internists using a uniform protocol and internationally accepted criteria [Defesche, 2000].") from PMID 11810272 (Fouchier et al. 2001), The Netherlands.9 unrelated cases, so PS4_Moderate is met.PP4 - variant meets PM2 and was identified in 9 unrelated index cases who fulfill clinical FH criteria from different labs (see PS4 for details), so PP4 is met.

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]
