Description
The p.L401V variant (also known as c.1201C>G), located in coding exon 9 of the LDLR gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 1201. The leucine at codon 401 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration, also referred to as L380V, has been reported in hypercholesterolemia and early onset myocardial infarction cohorts (Leren TP et al. J. Intern. Med., 1997 Mar;241:185-94; Vaca G et al. Atherosclerosis, 2011 Oct;218:391-6; Lange LA et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2014 Feb;94:233-45; Jannes CE et al. Atherosclerosis, 2015 Jan;238:101-7; Khera AV et al. Circulation, 2019 03;139:1593-1602). This alteration was also described to segregate with the disease (Leren TP et al. J. Intern. Med., 1997 Mar;241:185-94). This variant has been seen in an exome cohort, but cardiovascular history was not provided (Amendola LM et al. Genome Res., 2015 Mar;25:305-15). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic.
