RCV001951570 | SCV002244602 | pathogenic | Familial hypercholesterolemia | 2023-01-13 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Experimental studies have shown that a similar copy number variant affects LDLR function (PMID: 9684750). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. A similar copy number variant has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 9684750, 16250003, 16792510, 32770674; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant results in a copy number gain of the genomic region encompassing exon(s) 3-6 of the LDLR gene. While the exact position of this variant cannot be determined from the data, sub-genic copy number gains are generally in tandem (PMID: 25640679). This variant is predicted to be in-frame, and likely preserves the integrity of the reading frame. |
