Description
This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 528 of the LDLR protein (p.His528Arg). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hypercholesterolemia (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1171969). 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 not expected to disrupt LDLR protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
