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 22 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 19-11129671-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr19-11129671-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 252352.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr19-11129671-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr19-11129671-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Familial hypercholesterolemia Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Feb 05, 2022	This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 17 of the LDLR gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely disrupts the C-terminus of the protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 17765246; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252352). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 17 and introduces a new termination codon (PMID: 20828696). However the mRNA is not expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Human Genome Sequencing Center Clinical Lab, Baylor College of Medicine	Feb 01, 2019	The c.2547+1G>A variant in the LDLR gene disrupts the canonical splice donor site in intron 17 and is predicted to result in abnormal splicing of LDLR mRNA. This variant is absent from general population databases and has been reported in two unrelated individuals with hypercholesterolemia (PMID 17765246). In addition, skipping of exon 17 and a premature codon at aa805 were observed using mRNA extracted from the blood sample of an individual carrying this variant (PMID 20828696). Thus, this c.2547+1G>A variant in the LDLR gene is classified as pathogenic. -
