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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a strand (size 6) in uniprot entity LDLR_HUMAN there are 17 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000527.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_000527.5. Strenght limited to Supporting due to length of the change: 1aa.
• PP5: Variant 19-11116189-A-AGTG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11116189-A-AGTG is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 251967.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=2, Likely_pathogenic=1}.

This variant, c.1684_1686dup, results in the insertion of 1 amino acid(s) of the LDLR protein (p.Trp562dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 22881376; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251967). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
