Description
The p.L575F variant (also known as c.1723C>T), located in coding exon 12 of the LDLR gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1723. The leucine at codon 575 is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been detected in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and mixed dyslipidemia cohorts; however, details were limited (Chiou KR et al. J Clin Lipidol, 2017 Jan;11:386-393.e6; Huang CC et al. J Atheroscler Thromb, 2022 May;29:639-653; Dron JS et al. BMC Med Genomics, 2020 Feb;13:23). This variant co-occurred with a second LDLR variant in a homozygous FH cohort; however, details were limited (Jiang L et al. Sci Rep, 2016 Nov;6:36823; Du Z et al. iScience, 2022 Nov;25:105334). Functional studies by one group suggest this variant may result in a moderate reduction in protein function (Jiang L et al. Sci Rep, 2016 Nov;6:36823). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
