Ambry Genetics RCV002361492 SCV002664711 likely benign Cardiovascular phenotype 2022-10-11 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV004700609 SCV005202266 likely benign not specified 2024-07-29 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: LDLR c.68-18C>G alters a nucleotide located at a position not widely known to affect splicing. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.6e-05 in 249422 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in LDLR causing Familial Hypercholesterolemia (7.6e-05 vs 0.0013), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.68-18C>G has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (Costanzo_2021). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Familial Hypercholesterolemia. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34756585). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1581582). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.
