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]

This missense variant (also known as p.Asp335Asn in the mature protein) replaces aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 356 of the LDLR protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 15998910, 20145306). This variant has also been observed in compound heterozygous state in individuals affected with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 32977124). This variant has been identified in 3/251248 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Three, rare missense variants occurring at the same codon (p.Asp356His, p.Asp356Tyr, p.Asp356Ala) have been reported in multiple individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 9104431, 11851376, 15256764, 19319977, 20145306, 20809525, 35929461), indicating that aspartic acid at this position is important for LDLR protein function. The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 356 of the LDLR protein. This variant is also known as p.Asp335Asn in the mature protein. Computational prediction tools indicate that this variant has a neutral impact on protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 15998910, 20145306). This variant has also been observed in compound heterozygous state in an individual affected with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 32977124). This variant has been identified in 3/251248 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Three missense variants occurring at the same codon (p.Asp356His, p.Asp356Tyr, p.Asp356Ala) have been reported in multiple individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 9104431, 11851376, 15256764, 19319977, 20145306, 20809525, 35929461), indicating that aspartic acid at this position is important for LDLR protein function.

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 356 of the LDLR protein (p.Asp356Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs767767730, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia and/or homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 15998910, 19843101, 32977124). Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this LDLR variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be benign with a negative predictive value of at least 95%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 363,995 individuals referred to our laboratory for LDLR testing. This variant is also known as p.Asp335Asn. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251643). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt LDLR protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Asp356 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9104431, 33740630). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Variant summary: LDLR c.1066G>A (p.Asp356Asn) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the EGF-like calcium-binding domain (IPR001881) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251248 control chromosomes. c.1066G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (e.g. Alharbi_2005, Leigh_2008, Taylor_2009, Chmara_2010, Bertolini_2020), however without strong evidence for causality (e.g., co-segregation data). These reports therefore do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Familial Hypercholesterolemia. Additionally, other missense variants affecting the same codon, including p.Asp356His and p.Asp356Tyr, have been reported in multiple patients with familial hypercholesterolemia and are classified as pathogenic/likely pathogenic, suggesting that disruption of this residue is clinically significant. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 15998910, 32977124, 20145306, 18325082, 19843101). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251643). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly pathogenic. -

The p.D356N variant (also known as c.1066G>A), located in coding exon 8 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1066. The aspartic acid at codon 356 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration (also referred to as p.D335N) has been reported as heterozygous and compound heterozygous in subjects with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Alharbi KK et al. Genome Res, 2005 Jul;15:967-77; Chmara M et al. J Appl Genet, 2010;51:95-106; Bertolini S et al. Atherosclerosis, 2020 11;312:72-78; Doi T et al. J Am Heart Assoc, 2021 02;10:e018263; Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
