This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1618G>A (p.Ala540Thr) variant is classified as Pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes PS4, PP1_Strong, PM2, PM3, PP3, PP4, PS3_Supporting 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: PS4 - variant meets PM2 and was identified in:- at least 1 index case with DLCN at least 8 (TC =700mg/dl) from Ambry Genetics, USA;- 14 unrelated index cases, all with DLCN >=6 from Centre de Génétique Moléculaire et Chromosomique, Unité de génétique de l'Obésité et des Dyslipidémies (APHP.Sorbonne Université, Hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière), France;- at least 5 unrelated index cases (3 with Simon Broome definite FH, 2 with Simon Broome possible FH) from Molecular Genetics Laboratory (Centre for Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplantation), Czech Republic;- 2 unrelated index cases who fulfill SB criteria of possible FH from Cardiovascular Research Group,Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge, Portugal;- 4 unrelated index cases, all with DLCN >=6 from Cardiovascular Genetics Laboratory (PathWest Laboratory Medicine WA), Australia;- 2 unrelated index cases, all with Dutch lipid clinic network >=6 from Robarts Research Institute, Canada;- at least 1 index case with DLCN>=6 from PMID 19318025 (Alonso et al., 2009), Spain;- at least 1 index case with SB criteria for FH from PMID 21376320 Chiou et al., 2011), Taiwan,--- 30 cases, so PS4 is metPP1_strong - variant segregates with the FH phenotype in 39 informative meiosis from at least 14 families:- 20 informative meiosis from 7 families from Laboratory of Genetics and Molecular Cardiology, University of São Paulo: 16 relatives with the variant have LDL-C >75th percentile, and 4 relatives without the variant have LDL-C <50th percentile;- 1 informative meiosis 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 relative positive for variant had LDL-C >75th percentile;- 8 informative meiosis from 3 families from Molecular Genetics Laboratory (Centre for Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplantation): F1 with 2 relatives positive for variant and having LDL-C >75th percentile, and 2 relatives negative for variant and having LDL-C <50th percentile, F2: 1 relative who was positive for the variant and had LDL-C >75th percentile, F3: 2 relatives who were positive for variant with LDL-C >75th percentile, and 1 relative who was negative for the variant with LDL-C <50th percentile;- 2 informative meiosis from 2 families from Cardiovascular Research Group,Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge: 1 relative positive for variant with LDL-C >75th percentile in each family;- 8 informative meiosis (unknown how many families) from Cardiovascular Genetics Laboratory (PathWest Laboratory Medicine WA): 5 relatives positive for variant with LDL-C >75th percentile, and 3 relatives were negative for variant with LDL-C <50th percentile.--- 39 segregations, so PP1_Strong is metPM2 - PopMax MAF = 0.00006533 (0.007%) in South Asian exomes (gnomAD v2.1.1). It is below than 0.02%, so PM2 is met.PM3 - variant meets PM2 and was identified in:- 1 index case homozygous for the variant with TC = 700mg/dl at 7 years old from Ambry Genetics. ---> individual is homozygous for variant and has an homozygous phenotype, so PM3 is met.- 2 unrelated index cases, both homozygous for the variant, with LDL-C 352mg/dL under statin treatment (352/0.7 = 503mg/dl) and LDL-C=409mg/dl under statin treatment (409/0.7 = 584mg/dl), respectively, both from Centre de Génétique Moléculaire et Chromosomique, Unité de génétique de l'Obésité et des Dyslipidémies (APHP.Sorbonne Université, Hôpital de la Pitié-Salpêtrière) ---> individuals are homozygous for variant and have an homozygous phenotype, so PM3 is met.PP3 - REVEL = 0.888. It is above 0.75, so PP3 is met.PP4 - variant meets PM2 and was identified in at least 30 unrelated index cases who fulfill clinical FH criteria (see PS4 for details), so PP4 is met.PS3_supporting - Level 3 FS: Sun et al., 1997 (PMID 9409298) - Htz patients' fibroblasts, immunoblot and 125I-LDL assays - results: 40-50% LDLR activity, cell surface LDLR 40-50% LDLR.--- Activity is below 85%, so PS3_Supporting 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]
