Description
This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 254 of the LDLR protein (p.Gln254Pro). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 10978268, 11754108, 14974088, 19319977, 19446849, 21925044, 25463123). This variant is also known as Q233P and FH Reggio Emilia-2. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251437). 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 disrupts the p.Gln233 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with LDLR-related conditions (PMID: 16250003), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
