Description
For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects LDLR function (PMID: 11389828). 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3734). This variant is also known as p.Gly823Asp, FH-Turku. This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 7573037, 32522009, 33955087). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 844 of the LDLR protein (p.Gly844Asp).
