Description

The p.Thr274HisfsX96 variant in LDLR has been reported in at least 6 individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), 2 of whom were suspected to have homozygous FH but an LDLR variant affecting the other copy was not identified (Kolansky 2008 PMID: 19026292, Wang 2016 PMID: 27765764, Gidding 2020 PMID: 232143996). It was also reported in 1 individual with an early-onset myocardial infarction (Khera 2019 PMID: 30586733) and by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID 369863). Additionally, it has been identified in 0.002% (2/129158) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In vitro functional studies measuring LDL receptor activity in cultured skin fibroblasts show that this variant results in significantly reduced receptor activity (<2%, Kolansky 2008 PMID: 19026292). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 274 and leads to a premature termination codon 96 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the LDLR gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant FH. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant FH. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PS4_Moderate, PM2_Supporting, PS3_Supporting.

Description

The c.820del (p.Thr274Hisfs*96) variant of the LDLR gene introduces a premature translation termination codon resulting in an absent or disrupted protein product. The variant has been reported in heterozygous status in at least five individuals who fulfill the clinical criteria of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (PMID: 27765764, 32143996), and in 1/2081 individual from an early-onset myocardial infarction cohort while absent in 3761 controls (PMID: 30586733). This variant in homozygous status has been detected in two individuals with severe FH (>500mg/dL) and in-vitro functional studies using patients derived skin fibroblasts showed significantly reduced LDLR (<2%) activity (PMID: 19026292). Loss-of-function variants in LDLR are well known to be pathogenic (PMID: 33740630, 15321837, 20809525, 28645073). Truncating variants downstream of this variant are reported to be pathogenic in the literature (PMID: 15199436? 9698020, 16389549, 17765246, 17935672, 33740630) and by several ClinVar submitters (ClinVar ID: 251478, 251475). This variant is found to be rare (2/282836; 0.000007) in the general population database (gnomAD) and interpreted as pathogenic by multiple submitters in the ClinVar (ClinVar ID: 369863). Therefore, the c.820del (p.Thr274Hisfs*96) variant in the LDLR gene is classified as pathogenic.
