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.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 19-11111519-GA-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11111519-GA-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 251646.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-11111519-GA-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The c.1067delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 8 of the LDLR gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1067, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D356Vfs*14). This alteration has been reported in association with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Bertolini S et al. Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol, 2000 Sep;20:E41-52; Dron JS et al. BMC Med Genomics, 2020 02;13:23). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
