Description
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 636 of the LDLR protein (p.Gly636Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs764550980, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 16542394). This variant is also known as G615S. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252109). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant disrupts the p.Gly615 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 24671153). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.
