The p.W562* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1686G>A), located in coding exon 11 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1686. This changes the amino acid from a tryptophan to a stop codon within coding exon 11. This mutation (also referred to as W541X and FH-Skjetten) has been detected in unrelated individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), FH cohorts, and cohorts referred for FH genetic testing (Leren TP et al. Hum Genet, 1995 Jun;95:671-6; Mozas P et al. Hum Mutat, 2004 Aug;24:187; Leren TP et al. Atherosclerosis, 2021 Apr;322:61-66). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. -
