Description
For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts a region of the LDLR protein in which other variant(s) (p.Val523Met) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 2088165, 14974088, 15256764, 21310417, 21865347, 22294733, 23375686, 25463123, 27765764). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with LDLR-related conditions. This variant results in the deletion of part of exon 10 (c.1518_1586+340del) 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).
