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 p.D100N variant (also known as c.298G>A and legacy p.D79N), located in coding exon 3 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 298. The aspartic acid at codon 100 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with hypercholesterolemia, including at least two homozygous cases (Leren TP et al. Semin Vasc Med, 2004 Feb;4:75-85; Li H et al. Gene, 2015 Sep;569:313-7; Hu M et al. J. Atheroscler. Thromb., 2016 May;23:520-31; Moss S et al. Cardiovasc Revasc Med, 2018 12;19:20-22; Hsiung YC et al. Atherosclerosis, 2018 10;277:440-447). Based on internal structural analysis, this variant is deleterious, impacting a residue in the conserved cluster of acidic amino acids at the C-terminal end of LDLR class A repeat 2 (Ambry internal data; Jeon H and Blacklow C. Annu. Rev. Biochem. 2005;74:535-62). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 100 of the LDLR protein (p.Asp100Asn). The aspartic acid residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between aspartic acid and asparagine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 15199436, 25936346). This variant is also known as D79N in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251121). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
