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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health	Nov 14, 2023	The c.1478_1479del (p.Ser493Cysfs42) variant in the LDLR gene introduces a premature translation termination codon resulting in an absent or disrupted protein product. The variant has been reported in several individuals (>10) with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (PMID:7866407, 8740919, 11810272, 23833242, 28161202, 20145306, 33269076, 33794673, 19446849). This variant has also been reported in compound heterozygous status (with p.Ser123Pro) in an individual with FH, and in-vitro functional studies using patient-derived EBV transformed cell lines showed residual LDLR activity of about 32% compared to the normal controls (PMID: 20045108). This variant has been observed in homozygous status in an individual with severe FH (LDL-C: 17.6mmol/dL) (PMID: 29502162). Loss-of-function variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 33740630, 15321837, 20809525, 28645073). Truncating variants downstream of this variant are reported to be pathogenic in the literature (PMID:11810272) and by several ClinVar submitters (ClinVar ID: 222689, 432366). This variant is found to be rare (1/31342; 0.00003191) in the general population database (gnomAD) and interpreted as pathogenic by multiple submitters in the ClinVar (ClinVar ID: 222688). Therefore, the c.1478_1479del (p.Ser493Cysfs42) variant in the LDLR gene is classified as pathogenic. -

Familial hypercholesterolemia

Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	May 07, 2018	Variant summary: LDLR c.1478_1479delCT (p.Ser493CysfsX42) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (eg. c.1686G>A, p.Trp562X; c.2043C>A, p.Cys681X; c.2061dupC, p.Asn688fsX29). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 30908 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.1478_1479delCT, has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (Cavanaugh_1994, Jensen_1996, Fouchier_2001, Romano_2011, Kusters_2013). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, showing a 10%-30% of normal LDL uptake activity associated with this variant (Romano_2011). Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Aug 30, 2023	This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser493Cysfs*42) in the LDLR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525, 28645073). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 7866407, 11810272, 20045108, 20145306, 21865347). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 222688). -

The LDLR c.1478_1479delCT variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Ser493Cysfs*42). This variant has been well-documented to be pathogenic for Hypercholesterolemia (Chmara et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20145306; Bertolini et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32977124. Table S2; Sturm et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34037665. eTable 1). This variant is reported in 0.0065% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Frameshift variants in LDLR are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The c.1478_1479delCT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the LDLR gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 1478 to 1479, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S493Cfs*42). This mutation has been previously reported in association with familial hypercholesterolemia (Cavanaugh JA et al. Hum. Mutat., 1994;4:276-80; Schuster H et al. Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol., 1995 Dec;15:2176-80; Bertolini S et al. Arterioscler. Thromb. Vasc. Biol., 1999 Feb;19:408-18; Chmara M et al. J. Appl. Genet., 2010;51:95-106; Romano M et al. J. Lipid Res., 2011 Nov;52:2095-100; Minicocci I et al. J. Pediatr., 2017 04;183:100-107.e3; Klaus G et al. Pediatr. Nephrol., 2018 Jul;33:1199-1208). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
