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 Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 19-11120233-GGTAAGGGTGGGTCAGCCCCACCCCCCCAACCTT-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11120233-GGTAAGGGTGGGTCAGCCCCACCCCCCCAACCTT-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 252147.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr19-11120233-GGTAAGGGTGGGTCAGCCCCACCCCCCCAACCTT-G is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].
