RCV004581012 | SCV005063555 | pathogenic | Familial hypercholesterolemia | 2023-12-30 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exon(s) 11-14 of the LDLR gene. This deletion is out-of-frame, and is expected to create a premature termination codon 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 individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 7903864, 15936313, 29353225). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
