Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PS4PM3PM2PP3PP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.718G>A (p.Glu240Lys) variant is classified as U Pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes PP3, PM2, PS4, PM3, 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:PP3 - REVEL = 0.865.It is above 0.75, so PP3 is Met.PM2 - PopMax MAF = 0.00005418 (0.005418%) in European (non-Finnish) exomes+genomes (gnomAD v2.1.1), so PM2 is Met.PS4 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in at least 11 unrelated index cases: 2 index cases with Simon Broome possible 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 index case with DLCN>6 from Cardiovascular Genetics Laboratory (PathWest Laboratory Medicine WA); 2 index cases with DLCN>6 from Robarts Research Institute; 2 index cases with DLCN>6 from Color Health, Inc; 2 index cases fulfilling the following criteria: children with a) TC >200 mg/dl or LDL >120 mg/dl and b) presence of primary hypercholesterolemia in 1st degree relatives with autosomal dominant mode of inheritance or c) family history of pCHD or d) presence of xanthomas in proband or in parents, from Greece (PMID:25463123); at least 1 index case with Simon Broome criteria from China (PMID:28235710); 1 index case with Definite FH (LDL >13 mmol/l and presence of xanthomas and hypercholesterolemia in both parents) from Italy (PMID:32977124), so PS4 is Met.PM3 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in an italian index case with homozygous FH phenotype (LDL>13 mmol/l) with another LDLR variant, in trans (PMID:32977124). In PMID:28965616 is identified an italian index case (phenotype not reported) with LDLR variant c.304C>T (p.Gln102*), classified as Pathogenic by these guidelines, but cannot determine if the variants are in trans (PMID:28965616). Assuming that is the same homozygous index case (same lab), PM3 is Met.PP4 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in at least 11 unrelated index cases as reported above, 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]
