Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.2068del(p.His690ThrfsTer19) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,790 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. N688N) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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 19-11120445-AC-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11120445-AC-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 252205.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-11120445-AC-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The c.2068delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 14 of the LDLR gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 2068, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.H690Tfs*19). This alteration has been previously reported in multiple individuals in a familial hypercholesterolemia cohort (Tichý L et al. Atherosclerosis. 2012;223:401-8). 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. -
