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.922G>A​(p.Glu308Lys) 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. E308G) 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 strand (size 2) in uniprot entity LDLR_HUMAN there are 8 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) 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 chr19-11107497-A-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.993
• PP5: Variant 19-11107496-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11107496-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 251528.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-11107496-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Variant summary: LDLR c.922G>A (p.Glu308Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Low-density lipoprotein receptor domain of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251216 control chromosomes. c.922G>A has been reported in the literature in heterozygous individuals affected with Hypercholesterolemia (examples: Lombardi_2006, vanderGraaf_2011, Semenova_2020, Shakhtshneider_2021, Timoshchenko_2023, Rejman_2023). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 36752612, 16792510, 34834584, 21382890 , 32423031, 38203485). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251528). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
