Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV001953839 SCV002246421 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) 17-18 of the LDLR gene, which includes the termination codon. This deletion extends beyond the assayed region for this gene and therefore may encompass additional genes. While this deletion is not anticipated to lead to nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to alter mRNA translation or result in a truncated protein product. A similar copy number variant has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 2088165, 18239150, 22698793, 24420163). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
