Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):​c.196_197del​(p.Val66HisfsTer63) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,461,276 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. S65S) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 19-11102667-CTG-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11102667-CTG-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 226307.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-11102667-CTG-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Pathogenic variant based on current evidence: This variant deletes two nucleotides in exon 3 of the LDLR gene. This creates a frameshift and premature translational stop signal and is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in an Australian individual affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 22883975). This variant is rare in the general population and has been identified in 0/277264 chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Truncating variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525). Based on available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
