Description

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 9 of the LDLR gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 9254862, 10735632, 11668640, 11857755, 15241806, 21382890, 21475731, 22390909, 25154303). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 162499). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in activation of a cryptic acceptor splice site and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 10090473). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

This variant causes a G to A nucleotide substitution at the -1 position of intron 9 of the LDLR gene. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. A quantitative RNA study has shown that this variant causes a deletion of the first seven nucleotides of exon 10 due to a cryptic splice acceptor activation, and is expected to cause a frameshift and premature truncation (PMID: 10090473). This variant has been reported in hundreds of individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 7616128, 9254862, 10090473, 10735632, 11668640, 11857755, 12436241, 15241806, 21382890, 21475731, 25154303, 33955087, 34037665). It has been shown that this variant segregates with disease in multiple affected individuals in two families (PMID: 9254862, 25154303). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of LDLR function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
