Description

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251471). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 17765246). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 5 of the LDLR gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525, 28645073).

Description

Variant summary: LDLR c.818-2A>G is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing, leading to the retention of 10 nucleotides of intron 5 (Medeiros_2010). The variant was absent in 251436 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.818-2A>G has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia and has been shown to segregate with disease in affected families (Bourbon_2008, Jiang_2016, Kim_2022). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Six ClinVar submitters including an expert panel (ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Variant Curation Expert Panel) (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
