Variant summary
Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 27 ACMG points: 27P and 0B. PS1_Very_StrongPM1PM2PM5PP2PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.1729T>A(p.Trp577Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely pathogenic in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. W577C) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:1
This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 577 of the LDLR protein (p.Trp577Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). A different variant (c.1729T>C) giving rise to the same protein effect has been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11013454, 15823276, 27919346, 28126585). This suggests that this variant is also likely to be causative of disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. This variant disrupts the p.Trp577 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8697568, 11810272; Invitae). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
