Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM2 PM1 PM3 PS4_Supporting PP3 PP1 PP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.265T>C (p.Cys89Arg) variant is classified as Likely pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes PM1, PM2, PM3, PS4_Supporting, PP1, PP3 and PP4 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gim.2021.09.012). The supporting evidence is as follows: PM1 - Variant meets PM2 and alters Cys89, one of the cysteine residues listed, so PM1 is Met.PM2 - This variant is absent from gnomAD (gnomAD v2.1.1), so PM2 is Met.PM3 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in an index case with homozygous FH phenotype (LDL = 18.05 mmol/L) and LDLR variant c.1775G>A/p.(Gly592Glu), classified as Pathogenic by these guidelines, in trans, from ltaly (PMID:9974426), so PM3 is Met.PS4_Supporting - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 5 unrelated index cases: 1 index case with possible FH (Simon-Broome criteria) from Cardiovascular Research Group, Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge, at least 1 index case with definite heterozygous FH from The Netherlands (PMID:16250003), 1 index case fulfilling MedPed criteria for FH from Spain (PMID:16627557), 2 index cases fulfilling WHO criteria for FH from Poland (PMID:20145306), so PS4_Supporting is Met.PP1 - Variant segregates with FH phenotype in 3 informative meiosis from 1 family from Cardiovascular Research Group, Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge: 2 affected family members have the variant and 1 non-affected family member does not have the variant, so PP1 is Met.PP3 - REVEL = 0.973. It is above 0.75, so PP3 is Met.PP4 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 5 unrelated index cases fulfilling clinical criteria for FH from several labs (see PS4 for details), so PP4 is Met.

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]

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: reviewed by expert panel

Collection Method: curation

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.265T>C (p.Cys89Arg) variant is classified as Likely pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes PM1, PM2, PM3, PS4_Supporting, PP1, PP3 and PP4 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gim.2021.09.012). The supporting evidence is as follows: PM1 - Variant meets PM2 and alters Cys89, one of the cysteine residues listed, so PM1 is Met. PM2 - This variant is absent from gnomAD (gnomAD v2.1.1), so PM2 is Met. PM3 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in an index case with homozygous FH phenotype (LDL = 18.05 mmol/L) and LDLR variant c.1775G>A/p.(Gly592Glu), classified as Pathogenic by these guidelines, in trans, from ltaly (PMID: 9974426), so PM3 is Met. PS4_Supporting - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 5 unrelated index cases: 1 index case with possible FH (Simon-Broome criteria) from Cardiovascular Research Group, Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge, at least 1 index case with definite heterozygous FH from The Netherlands (PMID: 16250003), 1 index case fulfilling MedPed criteria for FH from Spain (PMID: 16627557), 2 index cases fulfilling WHO criteria for FH from Poland (PMID: 20145306), so PS4_Supporting is Met. PP1 - Variant segregates with FH phenotype in 3 informative meiosis from 1 family from Cardiovascular Research Group, Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge: 2 affected family members have the variant and 1 non-affected family member does not have the variant, so PP1 is Met. PP3 - REVEL = 0.973. It is above 0.75, so PP3 is Met. PP4 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 5 unrelated index cases fulfilling clinical criteria for FH from several labs (see PS4 for details), so PP4 is Met. -

Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 89 of the LDLR protein (p.Cys89Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 23375686). This variant is also known as FH-Catanzaro. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251102). 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 disrupts the p.Cys89 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 9259195, 10559517, 16250003, 17142622, 19837725). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
