This missense variant (also known as p.Cys188Tyr in the mature protein) replaces cysteine with tyrosine at codon 209 in the LDLR type A repeat 5 of the LDLR protein. This variant alters a conserved cysteine residue that is critical for proper protein folding and function (PMID: 2088165, 6091915, 15952897). Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in over 20 individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 11754108, 21310417, 22698793, 27824480, 28502495, 29396260). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 209 of the LDLR protein (p.Cys209Tyr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 11754108, 22698793, 33994402). This variant is also known as C188Y. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251332). 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 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. -
