Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PM5 PP3_Strong PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):​c.245G>A​(p.Cys82Tyr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. C82F) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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 18 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a disulfide_bond (size 14) in uniprot entity LDLR_HUMAN there are 12 pathogenic changes around while only 1 benign (92%) in NM_000527.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr19-11102718-G-T is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.989
• PP5: Variant 19-11102718-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11102718-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 251092.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-11102718-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

The p.C82Y variant (also known as c.245G>A), located in coding exon 3 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 245. The cysteine at codon 82, located in LDLR class A repeat 2, is replaced by tyrosine, 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 (referred to as C61Y) has been detected in a hypercholesterolemia cohort; however, clinical details were limited (Weiss N et al. J. Inherit. Metab. Dis. 2000 Dec;23:778-90). Internal structural analysis indicates this alteration eliminates a disulfide bond critical for the structural integrity of LDLR class A repeat 2 (Ambry internal data). In addition, several other variants affecting this codon (p.C82F (c.245G>T), p.C82G (c.244T>G), and p.C82S (c.245G>C)) have also been detected in association with hypercholesterolemia (Yu W et al. Atherosclerosis. 2002 Dec;165:335-42; Marduel M et al. Hum. Mutat. 2010 Nov;31:E1811-24; Jannes CE et al. Atherosclerosis. 2015 Jan;238:101-7). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
