Description

The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.828C>A (p.Cys276Ter) variant is classified as Pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes (PVS1, PS4, PM2, PM3, PP1, 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: -PVS1: Variant is predicted to result in a stop codon at amino acid 276, which is amino-terminal of amino acid 830. -PS4: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 12 unrelated index cases (3 cases with Simon-Broome criteria of possible FH and 6 cases with Simon-Broome criteria of definite FH from Molecular Genetics Laboratory (Centre for Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplantation), 1 case with DLCN>=6 from PMID: 32977124, homozygous FH; 1 cases with SB possible FH from PMID: 26036859, and 1 case with FH by MedPed criteria from PMID 21310417). -PM2: This variant is absent from gnomAD (gnomAD v2.1.1). -PM3: Variant identified as homozygous state in an index case with homozygous FH phenotype from PMID: 32977124. -PP1: Variant segregates with FH phenotype in at least 2 informative meiosis from 2 families from Molecular Genetics Laboratory (Centre for Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplantation). -PP4: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 12 unrelated index cases (3 cases with Simon-Broome criteria of possible FH and 6 cases with Simon-Broome criteria of definite FH from Molecular Genetics Laboratory (Centre for Cardiovascular Surgery and Transplantation), 1 case with DLCN>=6 from PMID: 32977124, homozygous FH; 1 cases with SB possible FH from PMID: 26036859, and 1 case with FH by MedPed criteria from PMID 21310417), after alternative causes of high cholesterol were excluded.
