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]

Hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1 Pathogenic:2Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthNov 28, 2023This missense variant (also known as p.Glu10Lys in the mature protein) replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 31 of the LDLR protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in three individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20145306, 32044282; Color internal data). This variant has been identified in 7/282432 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeSep 01, 2021This sequence change replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 31 of the LDLR protein (p.Glu31Lys). The glutamic acid residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glutamic acid and lysine. This variant is present in population databases (rs776421777, ExAC 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20145306). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251013). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Benign"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpOct 16, 2022Variant summary: LDLR c.91G>A (p.Glu31Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor class A repeat (IPR002172) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 251034 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.91G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (e.g. Chmara_2010, Kusters_2013, Setia_2020, Elfatih_2021). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Familial Hypercholesterolemia. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Five ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014: four classified the variant as uncertain significance and one as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
