Genes affected

LDLR-AS1 (HGNC:):

LDLR-AS1 links:

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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina	Apr 27, 2017	This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health	Jan 03, 2024	This variant is located in the LDLR protein in the promoter region (between the TATA and SP1 binding motifs) of the LDLR gene. Experimental studies in vitro of LDLR gene expression have shown a moderate decrease in LDLR gene expression (PMID: 25248394, 31395865). However, clinical relevance of this observation is not clear. This variant has been reported in at least two individual affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PPMID: 22883975, 23669246) and in at least three individuals suspected to be affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20236128, 31345425, 31980526). The genome region of this variant is not well covered in population databases and thus the frequency of this variant in the general population is unknown. 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. -

Familial hypercholesterolemia

Pathogenic:1Uncertain:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 04, 2024	This variant occurs in a non-coding region of the LDLR gene. It does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the LDLR protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individuals with clinical features of familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20236128, 24075752, 31345425; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 226302). Studies have shown that this variant alters LDLR gene expression (PMID: 25248394). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

The LDLR c.-121T>C variant is located in the 5' untranslated region. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with Hypercholesterolemia (Taylor et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20236128; Hooper et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22883975; Faiz et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 24075752; Trinder et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31345425. Table S3). Functional study showed that this variant decreases LDLR gene expression (Khamis et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25248394). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. In ClinVar, this variant has conflicting interpretations of likely pathogenic and uncertain significance (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/). This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
