Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PS4_ModeratePM2PP4PS3_Moderate

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1186+5G>A variant is classified as Likely pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes (PM2, PS3_Moderate, PS4_Moderate and PP4) as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.03.17.21252755). The supporting evidence is as follows: PM2 - No population data was found for this variant in gnomAD (gnomAD v2.1.1).PS3_moderate - Level 2 FS: PMID:21990180 - study on htz patient's lymhocytes. FACS + CSLM + Nothern blot were used. 50% biosynthetic process; 65% binding; 60% clearance. Abnormal transcript: retention of part of intron 8 causing a frameshift and premature stop codon (LDLR:p.G396fs*26) then identified by cDNA sequencing.PS4_moderate - Variant meets PM2 and was found in 8 unrelated FH cases.PP4 - Variant meets PM2. Variant found in 8 FH cases fulfilling validated clinical criteria. LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA10585344/MONDO:0007750/013

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]
