Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5
The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1502C>A(p.Ala501Glu) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,826 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A501V) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

The p.A501E variant (also known as c.1502C>A), located in coding exon 10 of the LDLR gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 1502. The alanine at codon 501 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant (also referred to as p.A480E) has been detected in the homozygous state in a proband with LDL-C above 500mg/dL whose heterozygous parents had LDL-C levels above 200mg/dL (Chater R et al. Clin Chim Acta, 2006 Nov;373:62-9). This variant has also been detected in individuals from familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) cohorts; however, details were limited (Punzalan FE et al. J Atheroscler Thromb, 2005;12:276-83; Bertolini S et al. Atherosclerosis, 2013 Apr;227:342-8). In addition, a different variant affecting this codon (p.A501V, also referred to as p.A480V) has also been reported in association with FH (Bertolini S et al. Atherosclerosis, 2013 Apr;227:342-8; Mabuchi H et al. Atherosclerosis, 2014 Sep;236:54-61; Hori M et al. Atherosclerosis, 2019 10;289:101-108). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on internal structural analysis, this variant is predicted to be moderately destabilizing (Lo Surdo P et al. EMBO Rep. 2011 Dec;12(12):1300-5; Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
