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]

The gene has 92 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 0.12407 (below the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 0.59338 (below the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1, homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.10063353).
BP6
Variant 19-11123179-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr19-11123179-G-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 252241.

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 716 of the LDLR protein. This variant is also known as p.Glu695Lys in the mature protein. Computational prediction tools indicate that this variant has a neutral impact on protein structure and function. An in vitro functional assay in transfected CHO-ldlA7 cells has shown that this variant causes LDLR expression and activity at levels nearly identical to wild-type LDLR (PMID: 37719435). This variant has been observed in compound heterozygous state in one individual affected with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20828696, 26020417), indicating that this variant contributes to disease. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
