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]

The c.2292del p.(Ile764MetfsTer2) variant in LDLR is a frameshift variant predicted to create a premature stop codon leading to nonsense mediated decay in a gene in which loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism (PVS1). This variant has been reported in >10 FH patients meeting clinical criteria (PS4_STRONG; PMIDs 1352322, 16250003, 16389549, 17539906, 27680772, internal data) and was observed in the compound heterozygous state with a second pathogenic LDLR variant in an individual with a homozygous FH phenotype, where parental testing confirmed variants were in trans (PM3_MODERATE; PMID:1352322). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1.0 is 0.0000008475 in European (non-Finnish) population, which is lower than the ClinGen FH VCEP threshold (<0.0002) so PM2_MODERATE is met. Based on the evidence listed above, we have classified this variant as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ile764Metfs*2) 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 is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with heterozygous or homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 1352322, 16159606, 16250003, 16389549, 22883975). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this LDLR variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 363,995 individuals referred to our laboratory for LDLR testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 226390). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.2292delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 15 of the LDLR gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 2292, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.I764Mfs*2). This mutation (also referred to as p.I743Mfs*2, 2292delA or FH-Tyrone) co-occurred in trans with another LDLR mutation in an individual with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HF), and has also been detected in several individuals with heterozygous FH (Webb JC et al. J Lipid Res, 1992 May;33:689-98; Graham CA et al. Atherosclerosis, 1999 Dec;147:309-16; Graham CA et al. Atherosclerosis, 2005 Oct;182:331-40; Fouchier SW et al. Hum Mutat, 2005 Dec;26:550-6; Taylor A et al. Clin Genet, 2007 Jun;71:561-8). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
