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]

The p.Gly529Asp variant in LDLR has been reported in 2 individuals (including 1 Mexican individual) with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 21722902, 22998978), and has been identified in 0.005787% (2/34562) of Latino chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs878854025). Please note that for diseases with clinical variability, or reduced penetrance, pathogenic variants may be present at a low frequency in the general population. This splice variant is predicted to cause a deletion of an exon and is not predicted to alter the protein reading-frame. The exon deletion is expected to impact the EGF-precursor homology domain (PMID: 21722902). One VUS with a different amino acid change at the same position, p.Gly529Arg, has been reported in association with disease in ClinVar (Variation ID: 183122). In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM4, PS4_Supporting (Richards 2015). -

The LDLR c.1586G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly529Asp. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with hypercholesterolemia (Table S1, Pisciotta et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22998978; Table 2, Vaca et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21722902). This variant is predicted to abolish the canonical splice donor site by in silico prediction programs (Alamut Visual Plus V1.6.1). However, the use of computer prediction programs is not equivalent to function evidence. This variant is reported in 0.0058% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/19-11224438-G-A). This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine with aspartic acid at codon 529 of the LDLR protein (p.Gly529Asp). The glycine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between glycine and aspartic acid. This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 10, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 21722902, 22998978). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 237863). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
