Invitae | RCV001232857 | SCV001405429 | uncertain significance | Familial hypercholesterolemia | 2019-08-23 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | 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. This variant disrupts the p.Asp774 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with LDLR-related conditions (PMID: 24507775), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). This variant has been observed in an individual with clinical features of familial hypercholesterolemia (Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid with tyrosine at codon 774 of the LDLR protein (p.Asp774Tyr). The aspartic acid residue is moderately conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between aspartic acid and tyrosine. |
