Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):​c.2187_2197delAAAGGTCAGCT​(p.Lys730HisfsTer48) 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 1,461,828 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L729L) 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]

The c.2187_2197del11 pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 15 of the LDLR gene, results from a deletion of 11 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 2187 to 2197, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K730Hfs*48). This variant has been detected in familial hypercholesterolemia cohorts (Marduel M et al. Hum Mutat, 2010 Nov;31:E1811-24; Futema M et al. Atherosclerosis, 2013 Jul;229:161-8). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525). This particular variant has been reported in the literature in two families affected with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20809525, 23669246). This variant is also known in the literature as p.Leu729Leufs*39. This sequence change deletes 11 nucleotides from exon 15 of the LDLR mRNA (c.2187_2197del), causing a frameshift at codon 730. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys730Hisfs*48) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
