Description

This sequence change replaces cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 173 of the LDLR protein (p.Cys173Trp). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 9452094, 11462246, 11810272, 25962062). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as p.Cys152Trp. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251277). 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%. This variant disrupts the p.Cys173 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 7489239, 20019594). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

This missense variant (also known as p.Cys152Trp in the mature protein) replaces cysteine with tryptophan at codon 173 in the LDLR type A repeat 4 in the ligand binding domain of the LDLR protein. This variant alters one of the highly conserved cysteine residues that are critical for proper protein folding and function (PMID: 2088165, 6091915, 15952897). Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have shown that this variant results in a significant decrease in LDL binding and internalization (PMID: 9544726, 16502360). This variant has been reported in multiple individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 11462246, 11810272, 25962062, 31345425, 32044282, 32220565) and has been shown to segregate with hypercholesterolemia in over ten individuals from two unrelated families (PMID: 9452094, 9544726). This variant has been identified in 2/251308 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.

Description

Variant summary: LDLR c.519C>G (p.Cys173Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor class A repeat (IPR002172) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251308 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.519C>G has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia and has been shown to segregate with disease in several affected individuals within two unrelated families (e.g. Couture_1998, Morash_1998, Ebhardt_1999, Fouchier_2001, Nauck_2001, Plewa_2006). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function demonstrated the variant results in a significant decrease in LDL binding capacity (Morash_1998, Plewa_2006). Eight ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
