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]

Significance: Likely pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant (also known as p.Asp26Asn in the mature protein, and as FH Hyogo) replaces aspartic acid with asparagine in the first LDLR-A repeat in codon 47 of the LDLR protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have a deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). A functional study reported that this variant does not cause a defect in LDLR expression and function (PMID: 30413722). This LDLR variant has been reported in over 15 heterozygous individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID 11313767, 11857755, 18718593, 29399563, 32331935, 33547002, 33533259, 35319679, 35929461; communication with an external laboratory; ClinVar variation ID: 251034). This variant has also been observed in compound heterozygous state with a known pathogenic LDLR variant in two individuals affected with severe homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, a phenotype expected of having two deleterious LDLR variants (PMID: 35319679). It has been shown that this variant segregates with disease in 6 affected individuals from two unrelated families (communication with an external laboratory; ClinVar variation ID: 251034); some individuals carrying this variant did not show elevated cholesterol levels, reflecting incomplete penetrance. This variant has been identified in 4/251226 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 47 of the LDLR protein (p.Asp47Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs778284147, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 11313767, 11857755, 18718593, 29399563, 33547002; internal data). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this LDLR variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 363,995 individuals referred to our laboratory for LDLR testing. This variant is also known as D26N. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251034). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect LDLR function (PMID: 30413722). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Functional studies with transfected CHO-IDlA7 cells showed similar binding and update as the wild-type (Benito-Vicente et al., 2018); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Also known as p.(D26N) and FH Hyogo; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 18718593, 33547002, 32331935, 11313767, 9399845, 29399563, 11857755, 25911080, 30413722, 31491741) -

Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The LDLR c.139G>A (p.Asp47Asn) variant also known as FH Hyogo) has been reported in the published literature in individuals with Familial hypercholesterolemia (PMIDs: 32331935 (2020), 31491741 (2019), 29399563 (2018), 25911080 (2015), 18718593 (2009), 11857755 (2002), and 11313767 (2001)). It was also reported in a family with suspected Familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 33547002 (2021)) and in an individual with Familial hypercholesterolemia as well as in a reportedly healthy individual (PMID: 27050191 (2016)). A functional study found that this variant was not damaging to protein function (PMID: 30413722 (2018)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00013 (4/30614 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.D47N variant (also known as c.139G>A), located in coding exon 2 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 139. The aspartic acid at codon 47 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in several familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) cohorts (Varret M et al. Nucleic Acids Res., 1998 Jan;26:248-52; Heath KE et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet., 2001 Apr;9:244-52; Bunn CF et al. Hum. Mutat., 2002 Mar;19:311; Kim HN et al. Chonnam Med J, 2018 Jan;54:31-35). It has also been detected in the heterozygous state in an individual diagnosed with homozygous FH, though no second variant was identified (Huang CH et al. J Clin Lipidol Dec;9:234-40). However, functional studies suggest that this alteration does not impact protein function (Benito-Vicente A et al. Sci Rep, 2018 11;8:16614). Based on data from gnomAD, the A allele has an overall frequency of <0.01% (4/251226) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.01% (4/30614) of South Asian alleles (Lek M et al. Nature. 2016 08;536:285-91). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is conflicting at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
