Description

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 627 of the LDLR protein (p.Ala627Thr). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 7903864, 9763532, 21376320, 23158915, 23375686, 25807990, 27206935, 27830735, 28235710, 28502510, 30108616). This variant is also known as p.Ala606Thr. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252101). 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 have shown that this missense change affects LDLR function (PMID: 7903864). This variant disrupts the p.Ala627 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with LDLR-related conditions (PMID: 9763532), 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 (also known as p.Ala606Thr in the mature protein) replaces alanine with threonine at codon 627 in the LDLR type B repeat 6 of the LDLR protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have a deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This LDLR variant has been reported in over 20 heterozygous individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20538126, 23375686, 27206935, 27830735, 28235710, 30270083, 30400955, 34037665, 36226792, 37397863). This variant has also been observed in compound heterozygous state with a known pathogenic LDLR variant in several individuals affected with severe homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, a phenotype expected of having two deleterious LDLR variants (PMID: 7903864, 19020990, 25807990, 28502510, 36325061). This variant has been identified in 1/251494 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Different variants affecting the same codon, p.Ala627Val and p.Ala627Asp, are considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 252102 and 226377), suggesting that alanine at this position is important for LDLR protein function. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
