Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 5 ACMG points: 5P and 0B. PM2PP3PP4PS4_Supporting

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.2389+5G>A variant is classified as Uncertain significance - insufficient evidence for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes PS4_Supporting, PM2, PP3, and PP4 as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gim.2021.09.012). The supporting evidence is as follows: PS4_Supporting: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 2 unrelated index cases with DLCN criteria>=6 from Molecular Genetics Laboratory (Centre for Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplantation). So PS4_Supporting is met. PM2: This variant is absent from gnomAD (gnomAD v2.1.1). So PM2 is met. PP3: No REVEL, splicing evaluation needed.Functional data on splicing not available.A) variant located -3 to +6 from canonical donor siteMES scores: canonical site variant = 4.93; canonical donor wt = 9.86.Ratio: 4.93/9.86 = 0.5 ---- It is below 0.8Variant is predicted to alter splicing. So PP3 is met. PP4: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 2 unrelated index cases who fulfill clinical criteria for FH (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]
