Variant summary
Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -7 ACMG points: 1P and 8B. PP3BP6_Very_Strong
The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.694+8_694+18delCGGGGCCAGGG variant causes a splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000526 in 1,006,926 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★★).

Variant summary: LDLR c.694+8_694+18del11 alters a nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.6e-05 in 1153438 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0006 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database (v4), including 1 homozygotes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in LDLR causing Familial Hypercholesterolemia (4.6e-05 vs 0.0013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.694+8_694+18del11 has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (Aruljothi_2016) without evidence for causality. These report(s) 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. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 26927322). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 630368). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
Hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1 Benign:1
- -
Cardiovascular phenotype Benign:1
This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
