This variant is predicted to result in loss of protein function through nonsense-mediated or protein truncation. Loss of function is an established mechanism of disease. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia in the heterozygous, homozygous, and compound heterozygous states (PMID: 30112042, 33391333, 1301956). Cultured fibroblasts from an individual homozygous for this variant demonstrated LDL receptor activity <2% (PMID: 1301956). This variant is absent from large population databases, including the Genome Aggregation Database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). -
Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:2
For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 226370). This variant is also known as Stop 556. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (PMID: 1301956, 23680767, 26802169). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp577*) in the LDLR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525, 28645073). -
This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 12 of the LDLR type B repeat 5 of the LDLR gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. Functional studies using patient-derived homozygous fibroblasts have shown that this variant causes a significant reduction in LDLR activity (PMID: 1301956). This variant has been reported in at least 2 individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 34037665, 34297352). This variant has also been observed in compound heterozygous state in individuals affected with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 1301956, 30112042), indicating that this variant contributes to disease. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of LDLR function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). A different variant affecting the same codon and causing the same premature translation stop signal, c.1730G>A p.Trp577*, is also considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 375821). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
