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]

MIR6886 (HGNC:50121): (microRNA 6886) microRNAs (miRNAs) are short (20-24 nt) non-coding RNAs that are involved in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in multicellular organisms by affecting both the stability and translation of mRNAs. miRNAs are transcribed by RNA polymerase II as part of capped and polyadenylated primary transcripts (pri-miRNAs) that can be either protein-coding or non-coding. The primary transcript is cleaved by the Drosha ribonuclease III enzyme to produce an approximately 70-nt stem-loop precursor miRNA (pre-miRNA), which is further cleaved by the cytoplasmic Dicer ribonuclease to generate the mature miRNA and antisense miRNA star (miRNA*) products. The mature miRNA is incorporated into a RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), which recognizes target mRNAs through imperfect base pairing with the miRNA and most commonly results in translational inhibition or destabilization of the target mRNA. The RefSeq represents the predicted microRNA stem-loop. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 19-11113599-G-GC is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11113599-G-GC is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 228357.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:1

Dec 21, 2015

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Asp477fs variant in LDLR has been reported in 2 German individuals with fa milial hypercholesterolemia (Weiss 2000, Bochmann 2001). It was absent from larg e population studies, though the ability of these studies to accurately detect i ndels may be limited. The p.Asp477fs variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 477 and le ads to a premature termination codon 59 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the LDLR gene is an established disease mechanism in individuals wi th familial hypercholesterolemia. In summary, the p.Asp477fs variant meets our c riteria to be classified as pathogenic for familial hypercholesterolemia in an a utosomal dominant manner based upon its predicted impact to the protein and abse nce from controls. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.1428dupC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the LDLR gene, results from a duplication of C at nucleotide position 1428, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D477Rfs*59). This alteration has been reported in association with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Weiss N et al. J. Inherit. Metab. Dis., 2000 Dec;23:778-90; Bochmann H et al. Hum. Mutat., 2001;17:76-7; Bertolini S et al. Atherosclerosis, 2013 Apr;227:342-8). 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. -

Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:1

Feb 11, 2023

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp477Argfs*59) 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 individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 11139254, 11196104, 23375686). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 228357). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
