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]

Cardiovascular phenotype Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 09, 2017The p.D172N variant (also known as c.514G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 514. The aspartic acid at codon 172 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in multiple patients with familial hypercholesterolemia from different origins (Jensen HK et al. Atherosclerosis, 1999 Oct;146:337-44; Leren TP et al. Semin Vasc Med, 2004 Feb;4:75-85; Mozas P et al. Hum. Mutat., 2004 Aug;24:187; Chater R et al. Clin. Chim. Acta, 2006 Nov;373:62-9). This alteration was reported to segregate with the disease in the proband and three affected family members (Chater R et al. Clin. Chim. Acta, 2006 Nov;373:62-9). In vitro experiments suggested that this alteration resulted in deficient ligand binding while not affecting protein expression (Etxebarria A et al. Atherosclerosis, 2015 Feb;238:304-12). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeSep 15, 2023This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 172 of the LDLR protein (p.Asp172Asn). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 10532689, 16806138). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Asp172 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with LDLR-related conditions (PMID: 10882754, 11194025, 20538126, 28028493), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects LDLR function (PMID: 25545329). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251266). This variant is also known as D151N. -
