RCV004581018 | SCV005063561 | pathogenic | Familial hypercholesterolemia | 2023-09-21 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exon(s) 4-7 of the LDLR gene. This variant would be expected to be in-frame, preserving the integrity of the reading frame. A similar copy number variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 22883975). This variant disrupts a region of the LDLR protein in which other variant(s) (p.Cys109Arg) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 11313767, 14974088, 19843101, 20145306, 22698793). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
