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]

Familial hypercholesterolemia Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthApr 10, 2023This missense variant (also known as p.Arg329Gln in the mature protein) replaces arginine with glutamine at codon 350 of the LDLR protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). A functional study using transfected CHO cells has shown that this variant does not inhibit LDLR expression and LDL uptake (PMID: 31106925). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 31106925). This variant has been identified in 4/250736 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different variant affecting the same codon, p.Arg350Pro, is considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 226343), suggesting that arginine at this position is important for LDLR protein function. 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. -
