RCV003111360 | SCV003794172 | likely pathogenic | Familial hypercholesterolemia | 2022-01-05 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | A similar copy number variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 20145306). This variant results in a copy number gain of the genomic region encompassing exon(s) 3-12 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 out-of-frame, and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525, 28645073). 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. |
