Description
The p.P526S pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1576C>T and p.P505S), located in coding exon 10 of the LDLR gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1576. The proline at codon 526 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been detected in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH); reduced LDL uptake was observed in assays performed on patient fibroblasts as well as in in vitro assays (Hobbs HH et al. Hum. Mutat., 1992;1:445-66; Day IN et al. Hum. Mutat., 1997;10:116-27; Nauck MS et al. Hum. Mutat., 2001 Aug;18:165-6; Maurer F et al. Swiss Med Wkly, 2016 Aug;146:w14326; Thormaehlen AS et al. PLoS Genet., 2015 Feb;11:e1004855). Based on internal structural analysis, this variant is expected to be structurally disruptive (Rudenko G et al. Science. 2002 Dec;298(5602):2353-8; Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
