RCV001388218 | SCV001589098 | pathogenic | Familial hypercholesterolemia | 2021-08-04 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exon(s) 9-12 of the LDLR gene. This deletion is out-of-frame, and is expected to create a premature translational stop signal and result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525, 28645073). A similar copy number variant has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 9048913, 15199436, 16792510). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
