Uncertain significance, reviewed by expert panel	curation	ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Variant Curation Expert Panel	Aug 26, 2022	The NM_000527.5 (LDLR):c.-188C>T variant is classified as Uncertain significance - insufficient evidence for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes (PM2, PP4, PS4_Supporting) as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gim.2021.09.012). The supporting evidence is as follows: PM2: This variant is absent from gnomAD (gnomAD v2.1.1). PP4: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in >1 index cases who fulfil FH diagnostic criteria after alternative causes of high cholesterol were excluded. PS4_Supporting: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 2 unrelated index cases who fulfil DLCN criteria for definite FH. One case submitted to ClinVar from U4M - Lille University & CHRU Lille, France; 1 case reported by Fouchier et al, 2005, from Department of Vascular Medicine, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health	Apr 03, 2023	This variant is located in the repeat 1 region in the promoter region of the LDLR gene. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 16250003, 35101175). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

Familial hypercholesterolemia Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 31, 2024	This variant occurs in a non-coding region of the LDLR gene. It does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the LDLR protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 16250003). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 237861). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
