Description
This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 651 of the LDLR protein (p.Asp651Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs730882110, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive LDLR-related conditions (PMID: 15241806, 25487149, 29396260, 30312929; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as p.D630N. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 183128). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies are conflicting or provide insufficient evidence to determine the effect of this variant on LDLR function (PMID: 25647241). This variant disrupts the p.Asp651 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with LDLR-related conditions (PMID: 16389549, 19318025), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
