ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Variant Curation Expert Panel RCV000237444 SCV004022465 likely pathogenic Hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1 2023-04-28 reviewed by expert panel curation The NM_000527.5(LDLR):c.298G>A (p.Asp100Asn) variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic for Familial Hypercholesterolemia by applying evidence codes PM2, PM3, PP1, PP3, PP4, PS4_supporting as defined by the ClinGen Familial Hypercholesterolemia Expert Panel LDLR-specific variant curation guidelines (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gim.2021.09.012). The supporting evidence is as follows: - PM2: This variant is absent from gnomAD (gnomAD v2.1.1) - PM3: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in an index case with homozygous FH phenotype (LDL-C=10.25 mmol/L ) as homozygous status, from PMID: 25936346. - PP1: Variant segregates with FH phenotype in at least 2 informative meiosis from 1 family from PMID: 25936346 - PP3: REVEL = 0.93 - PP4: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in at least 1 index case who fulfills SB possible FH from Ambry Genetics, after alternative causes for high cholesterol were excluded. - PS4_supporting: Variant meets PM2 and is identified in 2 index cases (1 case with Simon-Broome criteria of possible FH from Ambry Genetics, 1 cases with Simon-Broome criteria of possible FH from PMID: 25936346)

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000814794 SCV000955220 uncertain significance Familial hypercholesterolemia 2018-10-03 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 100 of the LDLR protein (p.Asp100Asn). The aspartic acid residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between aspartic acid and asparagine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been observed in individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 15199436, 25936346). This variant is also known as D79N in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251121). 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: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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 RCV002436073 SCV002751463 likely pathogenic Cardiovascular phenotype 2021-12-23 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.D100N variant (also known as c.298G>A and legacy p.D79N), located in coding exon 3 of the LDLR gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 298. The aspartic acid at codon 100 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with hypercholesterolemia, including at least two homozygous cases (Leren TP et al. Semin Vasc Med, 2004 Feb;4:75-85; Li H et al. Gene, 2015 Sep;569:313-7; Hu M et al. J. Atheroscler. Thromb., 2016 May;23:520-31; Moss S et al. Cardiovasc Revasc Med, 2018 12;19:20-22; Hsiung YC et al. Atherosclerosis, 2018 10;277:440-447). Based on internal structural analysis, this variant is deleterious, impacting a residue in the conserved cluster of acidic amino acids at the C-terminal end of LDLR class A repeat 2 (Ambry internal data; Jeon H and Blacklow C. Annu. Rev. Biochem. 2005;74:535-62). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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.
