Description
The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.226G>T (p.Gly76Trp) variant is classified as Uncertain significance - conflicting evidence for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes BS3, PS4_Supporting, PM2, PP1_Moderate, 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: BS3: Level 1 assays: PMID 25741862: Heterologous cells (CHO), western blot and flow cytometry assays - result: 100% low-density lipoprotein particle receptor biosynthetic process; 90% low-density lipoprotein particle binding; 95% low-density lipoprotein particle clearance. ---- The whole cycle is above 90% of wild-type activity. So, BS3 is met. PS4_Supporting: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 2 index cases (1 case with DLCN criteria of definite FH from U4M - Lille University & CHRU Lille and 1 case with Simon Broome criteria of possible FH from Cardiovascular Research Group,Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge). So, PS4_Supporting is met. PM2: This variant is absent from gnomAD (gnomAD v2.1.1). So, PM2 is met. PP3: REVEL=0.898. It is above 0.75, so PP3 is met. PP1_Moderate: Variant segregates with FH phenotype in 4 informative meioses in 1 family from Cardiovascular Research Group,Instituto Nacional de Saude Doutor Ricardo Jorge. So, PP1_Moderate is met. PP4: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 2 unrelated index cases who fulfill clinical criteria for FH from different labs, after alternative causes of high cholesterol were excluded (see PS4 for details). So, PP4 is met.
