Description
This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 483 of the LDLR protein (p.Trp483Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 8535447, 17539906, 19837725, 21382890, 27680772). This variant is also known as p.W462R. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251847). 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.Trp483 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 26892515). 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.
