Ambry Genetics RCV002418060 SCV002720063 pathogenic Cardiovascular phenotype 2017-10-20 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.W666* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1998G>A), located in coding exon 14 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1998. This changes the amino acid from a tryptophan to a stop codon within coding exon 14. This alteration, also referred to as p.W645*, has been reported in individuals with hypercholesterolemia (Kuhrová V et al. Hum. Mutat., 2002 Jan;19:80; Humphries SE et al. J. Mol. Med., 2006 Mar;84:203-14; Marduel M et al. Hum. Mutat., 2010 Nov;31:E1811-24). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV002518492 SCV003443168 pathogenic Familial hypercholesterolemia 2023-10-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp666*) in the LDLR gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in LDLR are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20809525, 28645073). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 11754108, 33418990). This variant is also known as W645X. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252161). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
