Invitae	RCV000775032	SCV000285028	pathogenic	Familial hypercholesterolemia	2020-10-05	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This sequence change replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 101 of the LDLR protein (p.Glu101Lys). The glutamic acid residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between glutamic acid and lysine. This variant is present in population databases (rs144172724, ExAC <0.01%). This variant has been reported in the literature to segregate with disease in two families (PMID: 1301940, 1352322) and also present in multiple individuals affected with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 1352322, 11668627, 23669246, 18718593, 19843101, 15241806, 20236128, 17142622, 16314194, 11668640). This variant is also known in the literature as E80K. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 161266). One experimental study has shown that this missense variant inhibited LDL uptake in Hel-Kyoto cells (PMID: 25647241). In summary, this variant is present at a very low frequency in the general population, has been reported to segregate with disease and is present in multiple individuals with hypercholesterolemia, and has been shown to affected protein function in vitro. For these reasons, it has been classified as Pathogenic.

This variant has also been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID# 161266). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Glu101Lys variant may impact protein function (Webb 1992). This variant has also been identified in 3/111700 European chromosomes by the genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This frequency is low enough to be consistent with the frequency of FH in the general population. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggests that the p.Glu101Lys variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for familial hypercholesterolemia in an autosomal dominant manner based upon presence in multiple affected individuals, segregation studies, low frequency in the general population and functional evidence. The ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PS4, PM2, PS3_Moderate, PP1, PP3.

Color Health, Inc	RCV000775032	SCV000909129	pathogenic	Familial hypercholesterolemia	2017-07-25	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Pathogenic variant based on current evidence: This missense variant (also known as p.Glu80Lys in the mature protein) is located in the LDLR type A repeat 2 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 shown that this variant significantly inhibits LDL uptake (PMID: 25647241). This variant has been reported in more than 10 individuals affected with hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 1352322, 11668627, 23669246, 18718593, 19843101, 15241806, 20236128, 17142622, 16314194, 11668640) and reported to segregate with disease in two families (PMID: 1301940 and 1352322). This variant is rare in the general population and has been identified in 4/246246 chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	RCV000775032	SCV000919570	pathogenic	Familial hypercholesterolemia	2018-01-19	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Variant summary: The LDLR c.301G>A (p.Glu101Lys) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide located in the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor class A repeat (InterPro) and 4/5 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. One functional study, Thormaehlen_2015, found this variant to be associated with pronouncedly inhibited LDL-uptake in cells." This variant was found in 4/263560 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publication controls) at a frequency of 0.0000152, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic LDLR variant (0.0012508). This variant was found in multiple unrelated patients with FH (Al-Khateeb_2011, Khera_2016, Futema_2013). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic.
