Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000791446 SCV000544666 pathogenic Familial hypercholesterolemia 2023-12-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 577 of the LDLR protein (p.Trp577Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 11013454, 12436241, 15823276, 17347910, 18339137, 22528129, 27919346, 28126585). It is commonly reported in individuals of Turkey ancestry (PMID: 11013454, 12436241, 15823276, 17347910, 18339137, 22528129, 27919346, 28126585). This variant is also known as p.Trp556Arg. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252001). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Trp577 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 8697568, 9180246, 11810272, 25378237). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Cardiovascular Genetics Laboratory, PathWest Laboratory Medicine WA - Fiona Stanley Hospital RCV000237252 SCV002549731 likely pathogenic Hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1 2022-01-05 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The LDLR p.Trp577Arg (originally p.Trp556Arg) missense variant is likely pathogenic for familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH). In silico algorithms (PolyPhen2, SIFT, MutationTaster) predict p.Trp577Arg to be pathogenic. It has previously been identified in multiple cohorts of FH patients worldwide and is absent from the gnomAD population database (~250,000 alleles). Other variants at the same position have been described as pathogenic (Trp577Cys, Trp577Gly, Trp577Ser).
Ambry Genetics RCV002411087 SCV002716700 pathogenic Cardiovascular phenotype 2021-07-06 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.W577R pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1729T>C), located in coding exon 12 of the LDLR gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1729. The tryptophan at codon 577 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration, also referred to as p.W556R, has been reported in both the homozygous and heterozygous states in multiple Turkish families with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and was found to segregate with the disease (Gutierrez G et al. Hum. Mutat., 2000 Oct;16:374; Sözen MM et al. Atherosclerosis, 2005 May;180:63-71; Schmidt HH et al. Clin Transplant, 2008 Mar-Apr;22:180-4; Schaefer JR et al. Clin Res Cardiol Suppl, 2012 Jun;7:2-6; Taylan C et al. J Clin Lipidol 2016 Aug;10:1303-1310). This alteration was also described in association with FH in other populations (Fouchier SW et al. Hum. Genet., 2001 Dec;109:602-15; Amsellem S et al. Hum. Genet., 2002 Dec;111:501-10; Leren TP et al. Semin Vasc Med, 2004 Feb;4:75-85; Widhalm K et al. J. Inherit. Metab. Dis., 2007 Apr;30:239-47; Fairoozy RH et al. Sci Rep, 2017 Dec;7:17087). Internal analysis has predicted that this alteration, located in the YWTD motif of LDLR class B report 5, disrupts the protein structure (Lo Surdo P et al. EMBO Rep., 2011 Dec;12:1300-5; Etxebarria A et al. Hum. Mutat., 2015 Jan;36:129-41). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
