Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points: 5P and 0B. PM2PP3PP4PS4_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1588T>G (p.Phe530Val) variant is classified as Uncertain significance - insufficient evidence for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying ACMG/AMP evidence codes PM2, PS4_Supporting, PP3 and PP4 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (specification version 1.2) on 20 February 2025. The supporting evidence is as follows: PM2: PopMax MAF = 0.00001891 (0.001891%) in European (non-Finnish) exomes/genomes (gnomAD v4.1.0). PP3: REVEL = 0.868. PS4_Supporting, PP4: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 2 unrelated index cases (1 case with DLCN>=6 from Cardiovascular Genetics Laboratory, PathWest Laboratory Medicine WA, Australia; 1 case fulfilling Japan Atherosclerosis Society criteria for FH reported in PMID 36229376 (Tada et al., 2022)), after alternative causes of high cholesterol were excluded.

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]
