Invitae RCV000586459 SCV000544677 pathogenic Familial hypercholesterolemia 2024-01-08 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant, c.663_683dup, results in the insertion of 7 amino acid(s) of the LDLR protein (p.Asp221_Asp227dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with familial hypercholesterolemia and homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 1301956, 8599353, 9026534, 10447263, 16250003; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251358). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000586459 SCV000697246 pathogenic Familial hypercholesterolemia 2017-10-23 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant Summary: The c.663_683dupCTGCAAGGACAAATCTGACGA (p.Asp221_Asp227dup) variant is an in-frame duplication of 21 nucleotides and results in the in-frame duplication of 7 codons in a non-repetitive region. Mutation taster predicts benign outcome for this variant. This variant is absent in 275344 control chromosomes (gnomAD). It has been reported in several individuals in the literature with either definite homozygous FH along with a second pathogenic LDLR variant or heterozygous FH. In three publications, patients with homozygous FH were shown to have <2% LDL-r activity (Webb_1996, Hobbs_1992, Blackett_1995). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Other similar variants have been reported in association with FH in database (HGMD). Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic.
Ambry Genetics RCV002365241 SCV002661892 pathogenic Cardiovascular phenotype 2022-03-24 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.663_683dup21 pathogenic mutation (also known as p.D221_D227dup), located in coding exon 4 of the LDLR gene, results from an in-frame duplication of 21 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 663 to 683. This results in the duplication of seven residues (DCKDKSD) between amino acids 221 and 227. This variant, also known as FH Tulsa-1, has been detected in individuals with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), who had a second variant in LDLR and attenuated LDLR activity in fibroblasts (Hobbs HH et al. Hum Mutat. 1992;1:445-66; Webb JC et al. J Lipid Res. 1996;37:368-81; Blackett PR, Am. J. Med. Genet. 1995 Nov;59(3):300-3). This variant was reported to segregate with FH in the mother and maternal grandmother of one proband (Webb JC et al. J Lipid Res. 1996;37:368-81). In addition, this variant has been identified in cohorts of FH patients from various ethnic groups and additional individuals with LDL-C levels consistent with FH (Hattori H et al. Hum Mutat. 1999;14:87; Fouchier SW et al. Hum Mutat. 2005;26:550-6; Ambry internal data). This alteration impacts residues in the conserved cluster of acidic amino acids at the C-terminal end of LDLR class A repeat 5 (Jeon H and Blacklow C. Annu. Rev. Biochem. 2005;74:535-62). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
