Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	RCV000844739	SCV000712914	likely pathogenic	Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia	2017-03-13	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The p.Gln254Pro variant in LDLR has been reported in the heterozygous state in 9 individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia, as well as one homozygote (Bert olini 2000, Dedoussis 2004, Brusgaard 2006, Diakou 2011, Tichy 2012, Bertolini 2 013. In addition, this variant has been reported in a consanguineous family alon g with a second hypercholesterolemia variant (LDLRAP1 p.Gly136X). In this family , disease severity correlated with the various combinations of heterozygosity or homozygosity for the two variants (Soufi 2013). The p.Gln254Pro variant has als o been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 251437) and was absent from large popul ation studies. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully est ablish its clinical significance, the p.Gln254Pro variant is likely pathogenic.
Department of Human Genetics, Laborarztpraxis Dres. Walther, Weindel und Kollegen	RCV000237699	SCV000987041	pathogenic	Hypercholesterolemia, familial, 1	2018-12-19	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The mutation at protein level leads to an amino acid exchange of glutamine to proline at position 254 (233rd amino acid of the mature protein) in the LDL receptor. This change has already been described in the literature as FH Reggio Emilia-2, as well as in patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia. We observed this variant in a patient with TC up to 360 mg/dl and LDL-C approx 300 mg/dl at the age of 55. PMID: 14974088, 11754108, 23375686
Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	RCV001190236	SCV001357683	pathogenic	Familial hypercholesterolemia	2019-10-10	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This missense variant (also known as p.Gln233Pro in the mature protein and as FH-Reggio Emilia-2) replaces glutamine with proline at codon 254 in the LDLR type A repeat 6 of ligand binding domain of the LDLR protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. A functional study has shown that this variant does not affect protein expression at the cellular surface but reduces LDL binding and internalization activity by 80% compared to wild type protein (PMID: 31578082). This variant has been reported in over ten individuals affected with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 10978268, 11754108, 14974088, 15200491, 16542394, 19446849, 21925044, 22698793, 23375686, 30415195). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	RCV001190236	SCV001393260	pathogenic	Familial hypercholesterolemia	2023-10-22	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 254 of the LDLR protein (p.Gln254Pro). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 10978268, 11754108, 14974088, 19319977, 19446849, 21925044, 25463123). This variant is also known as Q233P and FH Reggio Emilia-2. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251437). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt LDLR protein function. This variant disrupts the p.Gln233 amino acid residue in LDLR. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been observed in individuals with LDLR-related conditions (PMID: 16250003), which suggests that this may be a clinically significant amino acid residue. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

This variant is absent from general population databases. Multiple lines of in silico algorithms have predicted this p.Gln254Pro change to be deleterious. Therefore, this c.761A>C (p.Gln254Pro) variant is classified as likely pathogenic.

Ambry Genetics	RCV002392740	SCV002673773	pathogenic	Cardiovascular phenotype	2022-06-09	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The c.761A>C (p.Q254P) alteration is located in exon 5 (coding exon 5) of the LDLR gene. This alteration results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 761, causing the glutamine (Q) at amino acid position 254 to be replaced by a proline (P). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals of various ethnic backgrounds with familial hypercholesterolemia (Bertolini, 2013; Kuhrová, 2002; Dedoussis, 2004; Brusgaard, 2006; Abifadel, 2009; Soufi, 2013; Mollaki, 2014). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on internal structural analysis, this variant is anticipated to result in a significant decrease in ligand binding and structure stability (Rudenko, 2002). Functional studies demonstrated reduced LDL binding and uptake (Banerjee, 2019). Based on internal structural analysis, this variant is anticipated to result in a significant decrease in ligand binding and structure stability (Rudenko, 2002). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic.

The c.761A>C (p.Gln254Pro) genetic variant in the LDLR gene is not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD v4.0.0). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251437) observed in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (PMID: 10978268, 11754108, 14974088, 15200491, 16542394, 19446849, 21925044, 22698793, 23375686, 30415195).

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	RCV001190236	SCV005395832	pathogenic	Familial hypercholesterolemia	2024-09-17	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Variant summary: LDLR c.761A>C (p.Gln254Pro) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251474 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.761A>C has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (Mollaki_2014, DErasmo_2024). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 38374534, 25463123). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 251437). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
