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]

This missense variant (also known as p.Leu625Ile in the mature protein) replaces leucine with isoleucine at codon 646 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). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in at least 2 individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 24373485) and in an individual affected with early-onset myocardial infarction (PMID: 25487149). This variant has been identified in 1/251476 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. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.L646I variant (also known as c.1936C>A), located in coding exon 13 of the LDLR gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 1936. The leucine at codon 646 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was has been detected in a familial hypercholesterolemia cohort (Komarova TY et al. BMC Med Genet, 2013 Dec;14:128). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces leucine with isoleucine at codon 646 of the LDLR protein. This variant is also known as p.Leu625Ile in the mature protein. This variant alters a conserved leucine residue in the LDLR type B repeat 6 of the LDLR protein (a.a. 616-658), where pathogenic missense variants are found enriched (ClinVar-LDLR). Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have a deleterious impact on protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in at least two individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 24373485) and in an individual affected with early-onset myocardial infarction (PMID: 25487149). This variant has been identified in 1/251476 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD).
