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]

The c.100T>G (p.Cys34Gly) variant in LDLR gene, that encodes for low density lipoprotein receptor, has been identified in multiple (>10) unrelated individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (PMID:20809525, 22698793, 26892515, 27824480, 30592719, 21310417, 26666465, 33269076). This variant affects a cysteine residue located within the LDL-receptor class A1 domain of the LDLR protein. Cysteine residues in these domains have been shown to be involved in the formation of disulfide bridges, which are critical for protein structure and stability (PMID: 7548065, 7603991, 7979249). In-silico computational prediction tools suggest that the p.Cys34Gly variant may have deleterious effect on the protein function (REVEL score: 0.97). This variant is rare (3/1613854; 0.0001859%) in the general population database, gnomAD and interpreted as likely pathogenic/pathogenic by multple submitters in ClinVar (ID: 251018). Therefore, the c.100T>G (p.Cys34Gly) variant in the LDLR gene is classified as pathogenic. -

The p.C34G pathogenic mutation (also known as c.100T>G), located in coding exon 2 of the LDLR gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 100. The cysteine at codon 34, located in LDLR class A repeat 1, is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. Pathogenic LDLR mutations that result in the substitution or generation of cysteine residues within the cysteine-rich LDLR class A repeats and EGF-like domains are common in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Villéger L. Hum Mutat. 2002;20(2):81-7). This particular cysteine alteration has been reported in numerous FH cohorts from a variety of ethnic backgrounds with segregation reported in at least one family (Marduel M et al. Hum. Mutat., 2010 Nov;31:E1811-24; Sharifi M et al. Metab. Clin. Exp., 2016 Mar;65:48-53; Gabová D et al. Physiol Res, 2017 Mar;66:75-84). Internal structural analysis indicates this alteration eliminates a disulfide bond critical for the structural integrity of LDLR class A repeat 1 (Ambry internal data). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 34 of the LDLR protein (p.Cys34Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20809525, 22698793, 26892515, 27824480, 30592719). Invitae Evidence Modeling of clinical and family history, age, sex, and reported ancestry of multiple individuals with this LDLR variant has been performed. This variant is expected to be pathogenic with a positive predictive value of at least 99%. This is a validated machine learning model that incorporates the clinical features of 363,995 individuals referred to our laboratory for LDLR testing. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251018). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant affects a cysteine residue located within an LDLRA or epidermal-growth-factor (EGF)-like domains of the LDLR protein. Cysteine residues in these domains have been shown to be involved in the formation of disulfide bridges, which are critical for protein structure and stability (PMID: 7548065, 7603991, 7979249). In addition, missense substitutions within the LDLRA and EGF-like domains affecting cysteine residues are overrepresented among patients with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 18325082). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
