RCV003111351 | SCV003793371 | pathogenic | Familial hypercholesterolemia | 2023-09-05 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant disrupts a region of the LDLR protein in which other variant(s) (Deletion (exon 15)) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 1315570, 26632531, 29353225; Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. A similar copy number variant has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 2544509, 25461735). This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing exon(s) 15-16 of the LDLR gene. This variant would be expected to be in-frame, preserving the integrity of the reading frame. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
