Variant summary: LDLR c.1016T>C (p.Leu339Pro) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the EGF like Domain (IPR000742) 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 251028 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1016T>C has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia and was reported to segregate with disease in affected family members (Chiou_2010 & 2017, Chan_2018, Huang_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 339 of the LDLR protein (p.Leu339Pro). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20538126, 30592178; internal data). This variant is also known as p.P318L. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251597). 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%. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
not provided Pathogenic:1Uncertain:1
This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In the published literature, the variant has been reported in multiple individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (PMID: 20538126 (2010), 21376320 (2011), 28502495 (2017), 30592178 (2019), 30592178 (2021)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The c.1016T>C (p.L339P) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 7) of the LDLR gene. This alteration results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1016, causing the leucine (L) at amino acid position 339 to be replaced by a proline (P). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration, which is also reported as p.L318P, has been detected in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), specifically of East Asian ancestry (Chiou, 2010; Chan, 2019). Additionally, this alteration was detected as compound heterozygous with additional alterations in LDLR in individuals with concerns for homozygous FH (Du, 2022). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -
