Description

The p.C121Y variant (also known as c.362G>A), located in coding exon 4 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 362. The cysteine at codon 121, located in LDLR class A repeat 3, is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. Pathogenic LDLR mutations that result in the substitution or generation of cysteine residues within the cysteine-rich LDLR class A repeats and EGF-like domains are common in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Villéger L. Hum Mutat. 2002;20(2):81-7). This particular cysteine alteration (also referred to as C100Y) has been detected in FH cohorts and segregated with disease in a family (Cefalù AB et al. Int J Mol Med, 2006 Mar;17:539-46; Junyent M et al. Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol, 2008 Mar;28:580-6; Alonso R et al. Clin Biochem, 2009 Jun;42:899-903; Marduel M et al. Hum Mutat, 2010 Nov;31:E1811-24; Bertolini S et al. Atherosclerosis, 2013 Apr;227:342-8). Internal structural analysis indicates this alteration eliminates a disulfide bond critical for the structural integrity of LDLR class A repeat 3 (Ambry internal data). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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.
