Description
The NM_000527.5 (LDLR):c.2475C>G (p.Asn825Lys) variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes (PM2, PP3, PS1, PP4, PS4_Supporting) 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: PM2: PopMax MAF = 0.00002 in European (Non-Finnish) in gnomAD (gnomAD v2.1.1). PP3: REVEL = 0.803. PS1: One other missense variant that leads to the same amino acid change at same codon, NM_000527.5 (LDLR):c.2475C>A (p.Asn825Lys), (ClinVarID 252341), is classified as Pathogenic by these guidelines. PP4: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in >1 index cases who fulfil FH diagnostic criteria after alternative causes of high cholesterol were excluded. PS4_Supporting: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 5 index cases who fulfil FH diagnostic criteria. Four index cases met DLCN criteria for definite or probable FH: 1 case from Department of Medicine and Cardiology, Aarhus Amtssygehus University Hospital, Denmark, PMID 10532689; 1 case from Department of Vascular Medicine, Academic Medical Center at the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, PMID 11810272; 1 case from Robarts Research Institute, Canada, PMID 11668627; 1 case submitted to ClinVar from U4M - Lille University & CHRU Lille, France. One proband with LDLC >10mmol/l and xanthoma, reported by Jiang et al, 2016, Department of atherosclerosis, Capital Medical University, China, PMID 27830735.
