Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PP1_Moderate PM2 PS4_Supporting PP4 PVS1_Strong

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.2389+2T>G variant is classified as Pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes PVS1_Strong, PP1_moderate, PM2, PP4 and PS4_Supporting, as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.03.17.21252755). The supporting evidence is as follows: PVS1_strong - variant is at +2 donor splice site, and is predicted to lead to exon 16 skipping. Exon 16 is in frame, so PVS1_Strong is met.PP1_moderate - variant segregates with FH phenotype in 5 relatives from Robarts Research Institute, so PP1_Moderate is met.PM2 - This variant was not identified in gnomAD (gnomAD v2.1.1), so PM2 is met.PS4_Supporting - variant meets PM2 and is identified in 3 unrelated index cases, after alternative causes of hypercholesterolemia were excluded, from different labs (1 with DLCN >=6 from Robarts Research Institute, 1 with possible FH according to Simon-Broome criteria from PMID 17539906 (UK) and 1 with DLCN >=6 from PMID 33418990 (Russia)), so PS4_Supporting is met.PP4 - variant meets PM2 and is identified in 3 unrelated index cases from different labs (see PS4 for details), so PP4 is met.

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]

Review Status: reviewed by expert panel

Collection Method: curation

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.2389+2T>G variant is classified as Pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes PVS1_Strong, PP1_moderate, PM2, PP4 and PS4_Supporting, as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.03.17.21252755). The supporting evidence is as follows: PVS1_strong - variant is at +2 donor splice site, and is predicted to lead to exon 16 skipping. Exon 16 is in frame, so PVS1_Strong is met. PP1_moderate - variant segregates with FH phenotype in 5 relatives from Robarts Research Institute, so PP1_Moderate is met. PM2 - This variant was not identified in gnomAD (gnomAD v2.1.1), so PM2 is met. PS4_Supporting - variant meets PM2 and is identified in 3 unrelated index cases, after alternative causes of hypercholesterolemia were excluded, from different labs (1 with DLCN >=6 from Robarts Research Institute, 1 with possible FH according to Simon-Broome criteria from PMID 17539906 (UK) and 1 with DLCN >=6 from PMID 33418990 (Russia)), so PS4_Supporting is met. PP4 - variant meets PM2 and is identified in 3 unrelated index cases from different labs (see PS4 for details), so PP4 is met. -
