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]

LDLR links:

LDLR-AS1 (HGNC:54407): (LDLR antisense RNA 1) This gene represents a regulatory lncRNA that overlaps the 5' UTR and coding sequence of the LDLR (low density lipoprotein receptor) gene. This lncRNA overlaps LDLR in the antisense orientation, and has been shown to downregulate production of the low density lipoprotein receptor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2019]

Variant summary: LDLR c.-14C>A is located in the untranslated mRNA region upstream of the initiation codon. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 31396 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.-14C>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (Day_1997, Sabarinathan_2013). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Familial Hypercholesterolemia. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, however, does not allow convincing conclusions about the variant effect (Kircher_2019). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 9259195, 25248394, 31395865, 23315997). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 250963). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is located in the 5' untranslated region of the LDLR gene. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/31396 chromosomes 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. -
