Description

Re-evaluation of ACMG classification, scoring: PM2, PS4_supporting, PP4. PP3 could not be scored as the score of 0.718 is below the threshold of >0.75. At least 5 unrelated cases of confirmed FH carry this variant. Many further cases have been reported, however, the classification of their diagnosis is not well defined, so PS4 moderate or strong could not be scored.

Description

This missense variant replaces asparagine with lysine at codon 428 of the LDLR protein. This variant is also known as p.Asn407Lys in the mature protein. This variant alters a conserved asparagine residue in the LDLR type B repeat 1 of the LDLR protein (a.a. 397-438), where pathogenic missense variants are found enriched (ClinVar-LDLR). Computational prediction tools indicate that this variant has a deleterious impact on protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in more than 10 heterozygous individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 11005141, 11668640, 11845603, 11857755, 14508510, 15556094, 21382890, 35047021, 36499307). This variant has also been observed in compound heterozygous state with known pathogenic LDLR variants in two individuals affected with severe homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, a phenotype expected of having two deleterious LDLR variants (PMID: 36980993; Callis 2000 dissertation, University of the Orange Free State). It has been shown that this variant segregates with disease in multiple heterozygous affected relatives in one family (Callis 2000 dissertation, University of the Orange Free State). This variant has been detected in over 30 Dutch individuals showing modest severity of hypercholesterolemia with mean LDL-C levels in the 75-88th percentile according to the Dutch Lipid Clinic Network criteria (Hartgers 2020 dissertation, University of Amsterdam). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic.

Description

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 428 of the LDLR protein (p.Asn428Lys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 11005141, 11238294, 11668640, 11857755; Invitae). This variant is also known as N407K. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251766). 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. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

Variant summary: LDLR c.1284C>G (p.Asn428Lys; also known as N407K in the literature) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the LDLR class B repeat (IPR000033) domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251288 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1284C>G has been reported in the literature in both heterozygous and compound heterozygous individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH; example: Bunn_2002, Khoo_2000, Razman_2022, Reijman_2023, Rimbert_2022, Sjouke_2015). The variant was also reported to co-occur with another pathogenic APOB variant in an individual who was affected with both FH and familial defective apolipoprotein B-100. This individual had a more severe phenotype than her siblings who carried only one variant (Tai_2001). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 36499307, 36752612, 11005141, 11857755, 35047021, 27919364, 11238294). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251766). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.
