Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV002518488 SCV003443165 uncertain significance Familial hypercholesterolemia 2024-10-02 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 599 of the LDLR protein (p.Leu599Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 1301956, 12436241, 19318025, 27680772, 31345425). This variant is also known as L578S. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252035). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
Ambry Genetics RCV003165670 SCV003912555 likely pathogenic Cardiovascular phenotype 2022-12-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.L599S variant (also known as c.1796T>C), located in coding exon 12 of the LDLR gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 1796. The leucine at codon 599 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant (also referred to as L578S and FH London-5) co-occurred with an LDLR gross deletion in an individual with total cholesterol of 27mmol/L and reported LDL-R activity 5-15% of normal (Hobbs HH et al. Hum Mutat, 1992;1:445-66, Webb JC et al. J Lipid Res, 1996 Feb;37:368-81). This variant has also been detected in additional individuals from familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) cohorts with suspected heterozygous FH (Webb JC et al. J Lipid Res, 1996 Feb;37:368-81; Amsellem S et al. Hum Genet, 2002 Dec;111:501-10; Alonso R et al. Clin Biochem, 2009 Jun;42:899-903; Laurie AD et al. Clin Biochem, 2009 Apr;42:528-35; Trinder M et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2019 Jul;74(4):512-522). Based on internal structural analysis, this variant is predicted to be destabilizing (Jeon H et al. Nat Struct Biol. 2001 Jun;8(6):499-504; Rudenko G et al. Science. 2002 Dec;298(5602):2353-8; Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic.
