Description

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 134 of the LDLR protein (p.Cys134Arg). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 10735632, 11462246, 12730724, 25921077). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as p.Cys113Arg. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 226322). 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. This variant affects a cysteine residue located within an LDLRA or epidermal-growth-factor (EGF)-like domains of the LDLR protein. Cysteine residues in these domains have been shown to be involved in the formation of disulfide bridges, which are critical for protein structure and stability (PMID: 7548065, 7603991, 7979249). In addition, missense substitutions within the LDLRA and EGF-like domains affecting cysteine residues are overrepresented among patients with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 18325082). This variant disrupts the p.Cys134 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with LDLR-related conditions (PMID: 11462246, 23375686), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

This missense variant replaces cysteine with arginine at codon 134 in the third LDLR type A repeat of the ligand binding domain of the LDLR protein. This variant is also known as p.Cys113Arg in the mature protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Although functional studies have not been reported, this variant changes one of the functionally critical cysteine residues that form intra-repeat disulfide bonds in the ligand binding domain (PMID: 15952897) and is expected to have deleterious impact on the LDLR protein folding and stability. Different missense variants occurring at the same codon (p.Cys134Tyr, p.Cys134Phe, p.Cys134Trp) are known to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 251203, 251204, 251205). This p.Cys134Arg variant has been reported in over ten individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 10735632, 11462246, 12417285, 12730724, 15256764, 25921077, 29233637, 32143996, 32759540). It has also been observed to segregate with high LDL-C levels and xanthomas in three related individuals (PMID: 25921077). This variant has been identified in 1/251176 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
