Invitae | RCV000239883 | SCV000299090 | pathogenic | Hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1 | 2016-12-16 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is a gross deletion of the genomic region encompassing, which includes the initiator codon. The 3' boundary is likely confined to the intronic region between exons 1 and 2; the 5' end of this event is unknown as it extends beyond the assayed region for this gene and therefore may encompass additional genes. This deletion is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Deletions that encompass exon 1 of the LDLR gene have been reported in individuals affected with hypercholesteronemia and have been clearly defined as a common cause of the disease in individuals of French Canadian ancestry (PMID: 8098448, 22691586, 3472763, 3627182). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
