Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 3P and 5B. BS3 PM2 PP4 BP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.2291T>C (p.Ile764Thr) variant is classified as Likely Benign for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying ACMG/AMP evidence codes PM2, PP4, BP4 and BS3 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (specification version 1.2) on February 28, 2025.The supporting evidence is as follows: PM2: PopMax MAF = 0.0001337 (0.01337%) in East Asian exomes + genomes (gnomAD v4.1.0).PP4: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in at least 1 index case who fulfills Simon Broome criteria for possible FH from Cardiovascular Research Group, Instituto Nacional de Saúde Doutor Ricardo Jorge, Portugal, after alternative causes of high cholesterol were excluded.BP4: REVEL = 0.352, it is below 0.50, so splicing evaluation required. Functional data on splicing not available. A) Variant not on limits.B) Does not create GT.C) There is a GT nearby. MES scores: variant cryptic = -5.73, wt cryptic = -8.16, canonical donor site = 9.06. Cryptic scores are negative, splice site not used. Variant is not predicted to alter splicing. BS3: Level 1 assay: PMID 34167030 (Alves et al., 2021): Heterologous cells (CHO), FACS; Result - > Normal cell surface LDLR (105%), LDL-LDLR binding (90%) and uptake (89%). Functional study is consistent with no damaging effect.Level 3 assay: PMID 37719435 (Graça et al., 2023): Heterologous cells (CHO), microscopy assays; Result - >100% LDLR expression and >100% LDLR activity. Functional study is consistent with no damaging effect.With the application of BP4 and BS3 and the functional evidence available, consensus was to classify this variant as Likely Benign.

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]
