Description
The p.I441S variant (also known as c.1322T>G), located in coding exon 9 of the LDLR gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 1322. The isoleucine at codon 441 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant has been observed in at least one individual with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) (Ambry internal data). Another alteration at the same codon, p.I441T (c.1322T>C), has been described in multiple individuals with FH (Fouchier SW et al. Hum. Genet., 2001 Dec;109:602-15; Medeiros AM et al. Atherosclerosis, 2010 Oct;212:553-8; Chiu CY et al. Metab. Clin. Exp., 2005 Aug;54:1082-6). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is not well 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.
