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 19-11123239-G-GT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11123239-G-GT is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 252256.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Arg737LysfsX45 variant in LDLR has been reported in one individual with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH; Mozas 2000) and has also been identified in 0.003% (1/30616) of South Asian chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This frequency is low enough to be consistent with the frequency of FH in the general population. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 737 and leads to a premature termination codon 45 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the LDLR gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant FH. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant FH.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.2207dupT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 15 of the LDLR gene, results from a duplication of T at nucleotide position 2207, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.R737Kfs*45). This alteration has been reported in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Mozas P et al. Hum Mutat, 2000 May;15:483-4; Ambry internal data). 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. -
