Description
The c.1747C>T (p.H583Y) alteration is located in exon 12 (coding exon 12) of the LDLR gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1747, causing the histidine (H) at amino acid position 583 to be replaced by a tyrosine (Y). Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of 0.01% (29/282882) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.12% (24/19952) of East Asian alleles. This alteration (also described as legacy p.H562Y) has been described as a Taiwanese and Chinese founder mutation and has been reported in the heterozygous state, and in conjunction with another alteration in LDLR, in multiple individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and has been reported to segregate with disease in several families (Lee, 2023; Tada, 2020; Kim, 2018; Du, 2016; Fan, 2015; Chiou, 2011; Chiou, 2010; Rutkowska, 2022; Sreedharan, 2020; Ma, 2018; Yao, 2012; Sun, 1994; Chiou, 2012). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.
