Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PS4_ModeratePM3PM2PP3PP4

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1069G>A (p.Glu357Lys) variant is classified as Likely pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes (PM2, PM3, PS4_moderate, PP3 and PP4) as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gim.2021.09.012).The supporting evidence is as follows:PM2 - This variant is absent from gnomAD (gnomAD v2.1.1).PM3 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 2 compound heterozygous cases (1 case in PMID:30179711 (Lock et al., 2018) with LDL = 23.89 mmol/L and also LDLR c.2043C>A - Pathogenic by these guidelines; 1 case in PMID:19026292 (Kolansky et al., 2008) with LDL = 16.29 mmol/L and also LDLR c.1775G>A - Pathogenic by these guidelines).PS4_moderate - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 8 unrelated index cases (3 cases with DLCN criteria>=6 and 1 case with Simon-Broome criteria of possible FH from Service de Biochimie et de Biologie Moléculaire, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Lyon, France; 1 unrelated case fulfilling internationally accepted criteria (Defesche 2000; Goldstein et al. 1995) for definite heterozygous FH published in PMID:11810272 (Fouchier et al., 2001), The Netherlands; 1 unrelated case fulfilling WHO criteria published in PMID:21382890 (van der Graaf et al., 2011), The Netherlands; 1 unrelated case fulfilling WHO criteria published in PMID:10735632 (Lombardi et al., 2000), The Netherlands; 1 unrelated case with DLCN criteria>=6 published in PMID:28502510 (Bañares et al., 2017), Argentina).PP3 - REVEL = 0.976.PP4 - Variant meets PM2 and is identified in at least one index case who fufills clinical criteria for FH (see PS4 for details), after alternative causes for high cholesterol were excluded.

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]
