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 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 19-11120379-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11120379-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 252158.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-11120379-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The variant creates a premature nonsense codon, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene, and not found in general population data. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252158). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20809525, 25461735). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp666*) in the LDLR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525, 28645073). -
