RCV004581026 | SCV005063570 | likely pathogenic | Familial hypercholesterolemia | 2023-05-25 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | 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. A similar copy number gain has been confirmed to occur in-tandem in at least one individual (PMID: 7989866). This increases the likelihood that that this copy number gain also occurs in tandem and disrupts protein function. Studies have shown that a similar copy number variant alters LDLR gene expression (PMID: 7989866). This variant is also known as FH Salerno. A similar copy number variant has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 7989866). This variant results in a copy number gain of the genomic region encompassing exon(s) 9-14 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. |
