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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 13 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.0472319 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.2, offset of 10, new splice context is: tctctctcaatgggcgacAGatg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. Scorers claiming Benign: dbscSNV1_RF.
• PP5: Variant 19-11100222-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11100222-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 369858.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 1 of the LDLR gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525, 28645073). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 369858). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 10200052; Invitae). -
