Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 21 ACMG points: 21P and 0B. PS3PM1PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):​c.661G>A​(p.Asp221Asn) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000617 in 1,459,316 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV004820193: Experimental studies using patient-derived lymphoblasts revealed reduced LDLR activity (PMID:9409298)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D221Y) has been classified as Pathogenic. The gene LDLR is included in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry.

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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 21 ACMG points.

PS3
PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV004820193: Experimental studies using patient-derived lymphoblasts revealed reduced LDLR activity (PMID: 9409298).; SCV001358758: Experimental functional studies have shown that this variant may disrupt LDLR protein folding due to defective calcium ion binding (PMID: 8784348, 9262405) and result in reduced LDLR activity (PMID: 9409298).; SCV001435006: Functional studies demonstrated deleterious effect of the p.Asp221Asn variant. PMID:24075752; SCV005886446: At least one publication reports the reduced degradation of radiolabeled LDL in cells derived from a patient harboring the variant, suggesting the variant impairs LDL-receptor function (Sun_1997).; SCV004219992: A functional study found this variant was damaging to protein function (PMID: 9409298 (1997)).
PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 42 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 17 uncertain in NM_000527.5
PM5
