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]

The p.C377R pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1129T>C), located in coding exon 8 of the LDLR gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1129. The cysteine at codon 377, located in the EGF-like 2 domain, is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. Pathogenic LDLR mutations that result in the substitution or generation of cysteine residues within the cysteine-rich LDLR class A repeats and EGF-like domains are common in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Villéger L. Hum Mutat. 2002;20(2):81-7). This particular cysteine alteration has been detected in probands from an FH cohort, and in a myocardial infarction cohort (Do R et al. Nature, 2015 Feb;518:102-6; Gabová D et al. Physiol Res, 2017 03;66:75-84). Internal structural analysis indicates this alteration eliminates a disulfide bond critical for the structural integrity of the EGF-like 2 domain (Ambry internal data). In addition, other variants affecting this codon (including but not limited to p.C377S, c.1130G>C and p.C377Y, c.1130G>A) have also been reported in association with FH (Bertolini S et al. Atherosclerosis, 2013 Apr;227:342-8; Gabová D et al. Physiol Res, 2017 03;66:75-84). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Cys377 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9767373, 23680767, 24722143, 27824480, 29693183, 32770674). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. This variant affects a cysteine residue located within an LDLRA or epidermal-growth-factor (EGF)-like domains of the LDLR protein. Cysteine residues in these domains have been shown to be involved in the formation of disulfide bridges, which are critical for protein structure and stability (PMID: 7548065, 7603991, 7979249). In addition, missense substitutions within the LDLRA and EGF-like domains affecting cysteine residues are overrepresented among patients with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 18325082). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1727785). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of LDLR-related conditions and/or familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 25487149, 27824480). This variant is present in population databases (rs773064328, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 377 of the LDLR protein (p.Cys377Arg). -
