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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.04761905 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4, offset of -26, new splice context is: ctgGTcaga. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 19-11107516-T-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11107516-T-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 251543.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The c.940+2T>A intronic variant results from a T to A substitution two nucleotides after coding exon 6 in the LDLR gene. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to result in aberrant splicing. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site and may result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. A resulting transcript is predicted to be in-frame and is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay; although, direct evidence is unavailable. However, the region predicted to be impacted is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Marduel M et al. Hum Mutat, 2010 Nov;31:E1811-24; Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
