It has also been identified in 7/126722Euro pean chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broad institute.org; dbSNP rs121908025); however, this frequency is low enough to be c onsistent with the frequency of FH in the general population. Additionally, in v itro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Trp87Gly variant may im pact protein function (Leitersdorf 1990). In summary, this variant meets our cri teria to be classified as pathogenic for FH in an autosomal dominant manner base d upon its identification in a large number of affected individuals and low freq uency in controls. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS4; PM3; PM2_Supporting; PP3; PS3 _Supporting.
Invitae	RCV000776466	SCV000285027	pathogenic	Familial hypercholesterolemia	2019-08-05	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This sequence change replaces tryptophan with glycine at codon 87 of the LDLR protein (p.Trp87Gly). The tryptophan residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between tryptophan and glycine. This variant is clearly defined as a familial hypercholesterolemia causative allele (PMID: 2318961, 12553167, 16542394). It is a founder mutation in the Dutch population, and is common in individuals of European ancestry. This variant is also known as p.W66G in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 3685). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change leads to an LDL receptor protein that is unable to properly bind LDL (PMID: 8098448). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Color Health, Inc	RCV000776466	SCV000912015	pathogenic	Familial hypercholesterolemia	2018-01-29	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Pathogenic variant based on current evidence: This missense variant (also known as p.Trp66Gly in the mature protein) is located in the second LDLR type A repeat of the ligand binding domain of the LDLR protein. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may have deleterious impact on the protein function. Computational splicing tools suggest that this variant may not impact the RNA splicing. Experimental studies have demonstrated that the variant protein showed reduced LDL binding (PMID: 8645371, 10735631). This variant has been identified in over 500 individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 8098448, 9272705, 12553167, 16542394, 2318961). This variant is common in individuals of European descent and is considered a founder mutation in the French-Canadian population (PMID: 9272705). Homozygous individuals have shown much higher LDL-C levels than heterozygous individuals (PMID: 8098448). This variant has been identified in 8/277232 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.

It is located in the functionally important second LDLR type A repeat. Functional studies have demonstrated a deleterious effect of the p.Trp87Gly variant on LDL binding (PMID: 2318961, 8645371, 10735631). The variant is observed in gnomAD at a low minor allele frequency (8/282882). Multiple algorithms predicted this change to be deleterious. Therefore, the c.259T>G (p.Trp87Gly) variant in the LDLR gene is classified as pathogenic.
Integrated Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America	RCV000776466	SCV001467951	pathogenic	Familial hypercholesterolemia	2020-12-14	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Variant summary: LDLR c.259T>G (p.Trp87Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.8e-05 in 251490 control chromosomes. c.259T>G has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (e.g. Leitersdorf_1990, Moorjani_1993, Banerjee_2019). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, indicating the cells expressing the variant have reduced LDL-binding and uptake (e.g. Banerjee_2019). 11 clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories cited the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
