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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 19-11102775-AG-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11102775-AG-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 251126.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-11102775-AG-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu101Aspfs*105) in the LDLR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525, 28645073). This variant is present in population databases (rs764797225, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LDLR-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251126). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Pathogenic variant based on current evidence: This variant deletes one nucleotide in exon 3 of the LDLR gene. This creates a frameshift and premature translational stop signal and is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. Truncating variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525). This variant is rare in the general population and has been identified in 1/246260 chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia in UK (PMID: 17094996, 23680767). Based on available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:1

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Glu101AspfsX105 variant in LDLR has been reported in 2 individuals with hypercholesterolemia (Sozen 2004, Tosi 2007). It has also been identified in 0.001% (1/113754) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) and is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 251126). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 101 and leads to a premature termination codon 105 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the LDLR gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PS4_Supporting. -
